Default Different Versions of Mirage Tour DVD
Some months ago, I bought the Brazilian import Mirage Tour DVD (the one with the Tango-era cover), and I really love this video. The version of "Gypsy" is particularly beautiful. The sound and video quality aren't the best, but I thought that was about as good as you can get with a VHS-to-DVD transfer.

I know there are quite a few DVD releases of this video, like the New Zealand release and this other one I've seen for sale. (The cover at least is much better.)

http://www.ioffer.com/i/Fleetwood-Ma...21?source=eisi

Does anyone own this "Live at the Los Angeles Forum, Mirage Tour 1982" DVD? Is the video/sound quality any better than on the Brazil DVD?

Thanks for any help you can give.

The best quality one out there is on laser disc:



I wish I could get my hands on a copy of that. Oh yeah, I guess I need a laser disc player too, huh?

This is the copy that I have. I got it at a local record store. I don't know where they ordered it from. It's a good copy. I'm not sure that this helps you, good luck.

Well, I like to think she was just ill with a broken heart. That's what comes to my mind anyway when I watch this Gypsy video.

Two versions, one from the VHS and the laser disc copy.
The VHS has more songs. The laser disc looks and sounds
better (maybe a slightly different mix). Luckily I have both
originals.

I have the version with this cover and the quality is better than most versions I've seen (altough probably not as good as the laserdisc)

I didn't like her voice, too low, but great performance anyway, specially Sister of the moon
