US Festival 1982

Footage from the Mac performing at the US Festival is not that common. Not sure why everyone else is posted on youtube except the Mac. Anyway this little segment about the entire concert has some footage I have never seen before. Gosh it makes me want more. Christine is so elegant dressed all in white. And the end where Stevie introduces one of the founders on the US Festival.....Stevie looks amazing.
Just thought I would share. Sorry if this has been posted before.

The full video of Fleetwood Mac's set from this show is out there somewhere. As well as the full Mirage tour video. Someone has them, they just need to put them all on YouTube. From pictures I've seen, I think that white dress Christine is wearing is the same as the red one from the Mirage tour videos. She had three of the same dress for that tour one in white, one in black, and one in red.

There has been a few months ago another thread about this: http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showth...=festival+1982

I agree about the Mirage video but the Us Festival is an all different matter.

As you know the Us Festival was produced by Apple co-founder Steve Wozniac in 1982 and 1983 and he/Apple has the tapes. Circa three years ago Steve Wozniac himself had announced that for the 30th anniversary of the festivals two documentaries with remastered content of never seen before life footage and new commemorative interviews were being prepared but its' been postponed several times due to bureaucratic ****.

The video you posted is the trailer for the documentary. There is also a bit of a new interview with Mick.

Now, since Fleetwood Mac and David Bowie that are the two major headliner of the two different editions of the festival are the only ones that miss from the internet, I dare suggest that Apple had the most juicy footage set aside in order to sell it later in more convenient conditions and now everything is damn blocked for money issues.

There also is an official facebook page of the documentaries, but the last update has been last December: https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-U...ls/92684147411

So there is a chance that we will see Fleetwood Mac's US festival show sometime in the future?

Here is audio of the Chain from the US Festival. But is just makes you want the video more

The song breaks down during the bass solo part. It sounds like they were trying to get their groove or something. Maybe John or Lindsey had too much to drink before the show

It also sounds like Stevie's microphone is way turned down.

I'd say that this is a DVD release like they did in the recent years for Quiet Riot.

As for the mention itself it was this conversation:
Deborah Harris: With Fleetwood Mac's entire set? I love this!!
The US Festivals: We are working on it and glad to see the band back on tour!
