Rumours Deluxe Edition question

[bwboy]

I just noticed this the other day and wanted to know if anyone else noticed it; the live CD that came with the Rumours Deluxe Edition a few years back- at the beginning of the Concert that was recorded during the Rumours tour, Tusk is playing in the background. Tusk, of course, was recorded years after Rumours was released, so my question is, how could it have been played during this concert? Was Tusk the song something Lindsey had well before Tusk the album? Or was the introduction recorded at a different concert and year than the live CD?

Any ideas?

Lindsey, John, and Mick used to warm up a bit right before the opening song by playing this riff — which became “Tusk.” For example, listen to the lead-in from Osaka, Japan, in December 1977:

Thank you David! I’m really glad to learn this. I was afraid somebody put Tusk on there by mistake, or whatever. Neat to hear the song had been in the works for a while.

You've not read Mick's first book?

I did read it! But I don’t remember any specific mention of this. That’s pretty impressive Mick thought to mention it.

I wish Mick had mentioned more of how the band came up with their setlist, and maybe why some songs didn’t make the cut. I remember an interview with Rick Vito, for example, talking about why Sara was dropped during his time with the band.

Mick talks so much about Tusk in his first book. The inspiration for the marching band and how the band always warmed up playing it and putting it all together.
You read the book but skipped the pages that did not have the word Stevie on them

I never read any of Mick’s revised/updated books… did I miss anything?
