I thought I would never do this...

[Villavic]

I bought a pirate (mac) dvd,

I always buy originals, specially if it's Fleetwood Mac. But after reading those comments about the Tango DVD, that has nothing aditional from the vhs edition, I thought it wasn't worth it to buy it. No titles, no bonus material, no dts, etc...

But then I was at this galleries in downtown, where you can find pirate merchandise.. and I saw the Tango dvd. 5 soles (less than US$2). So I bought it.

And yes, nothing special from it. It's the same as the vhs edition.

Hey,
No real worries! I probably would of done the same thing! I dont have that DvD yet. All I have is a pirated vhS copy that I spent 15 bucks on about 8 years ago! LOL And its bad! Time for an upgrade!

I've never even watched the whole concert in its entirety. The performance itself is not bad (though certainly not great)... the real problem is it's all so airbrushed and "produced." It doesn't feel real.

How dare you take money from Fleetwood Mac! You KNOW Lindsey needs cash for those kids to eat! Stevie needs more chiffon, you thief!! John is getting another boat, and Mick has GOT to have that 5th Ferrari.

This is digusting.

Oh man - that really cracked me up for some reason

Tehe...I'd probably buy pirated copies of stuff like the Mirage concert or Tusk doc. I know you can get them on ebay but my mom won't let me use her credit card. My legal copy of the Tango DVD doesn't get played very much. Isn't It Midnight is probably the highlight...better than the album with the "Well...isn't it midnight" at the end. I bought the DVD before I had the CD and I was dissapointed that the song didn't have that part.

I think us Ledgies alone have paid for three houses, four college educations, and braces for every Fleetwood and Buckingham kid.

I'm very sorry. I guess Stevie will go back to her waitress days...

i think that once you bought the original VHS, you've paid the royalties fair and square. asking you to pay them again just for changing the concert's media format is somewhat unfair.

AMEN! I've always wanted companies to offer trade-ins when you're "upgrading" formats for the same title. Especially since they come out with new formats every 6 months it seems. Up next - HDVD (Blu Ray). I mean, at this point, all the labels have bought the reseller companies, or offer used selections in their own stores anyway...

I have two bootleg Mac DVDs - Mirage DVD and Stevie US Festival. And yes, if they had released these themselves, I would have bought it from them. I'm still contemplating getting the Bella Donna show on DVD, now that I see them around quite a bit and the price has come down a little.

Now, who do I/we have to shag to get official DVDs for all the Mac stuff we're missing?

On the format, I agree completely, and, I'm not sure you could successfully be prosecuted, given that you could prove you'd previously paid the royalties. I think I've paid royalties on Rumours 8-9 times, so if I download a song or two, I don't feel the least bit guilty...

I've bought the Brazilian Mirage.....if Mick would get this stuff available for us to give him money (are you listening Mick? ), I would gladly part with money to back Mick's next get rich quick scheme.

That's one of the things that can be so frustrating about Fleetwood Mac. We, as fans, would... by and large... GLADLY line up at our local music stores to purchase DVDs of the 'Tusk Doc,' 'In Concert: 1982,' a video compilation, etc.

Heck, look at how many people have spent a pretty sum to buy bootleg DVDs through eBay! If someone is willing to spend 40 bucks (or more) on something of questionable quality, surely they'd be willing to part with 20 bucks for an official DVD.

But all of this video material sits, deteriorating, in vaults somewhere.

I'd be a bit weary buying Mirage Tour unless I know what I'm getting for sure.

I happen to know it's supposed to be in stereo, and I would hope the bootlegger knows that too.

(I've heard multiple audio rips from that video and some are stereo, and some are not)
