Worthy Mac dvd's

[Houseonthehill]

Although the transfer isn't flawless, I don't consider it to be "bad" by any means (the Mirage DVD transfer). The content however, is just WOW. They were all giving it their all, great songs, so much energy and the actual scene filming by HBO is superb.

Its what took me from a "Hey fleetwood mac is great band, the dance is awesome!" to "... this is the best thing ever, I can die happy"

Its a must own, right up there with the Dance.

Destiny rules is enjoyable, but has limited reputability.

As I know, the Mirage DVD is a brazilian production, but here in Argentina were produced lot of copies, sadly, with a wrong cover, as they've got a picture from the Behind The Mask lineup...

About the quality, I think it looks great, but has no the ideal sound, and it's not a complete show. And as I said before, it's a shame there's not a complete concert from the Tusk tour. Definitely it would look and sound better!!

The TITN show is really a waste of time. Even the Mirage one is better. The Dance and Boston are the best, BUT, when Boston has the energy, The Dance has the emotions. And a possible DVD of this tour could be a mix of both.
About solo concerts, Soundstage is the Lindsey's best, and White Winged Dove is the Stevie's one, and is just between the Tusk and the Mirage tours. See the quality! Maybe Mirage is not crappy at all.

Regards!

I'm surprised, am I the only one that wish a DVD of the Landover 1983 Stevie show? That show was a bomb! If it were cleaned up and released as a DVD I would be happy...

I've just watched a live concert from 1975 on youtube. Great concert. It says it's complete, but it's only 11 songs. Is this a complete concert? I'm surprised Stevie had only one lead (Rhiannon). I'm surprised they didn't perform Landslide or Say you love me. It was great to hear all of them harmonising on an old Mac song though, Station man. Rich.

The show is complete in the sense that is the complete recording available of the show; at the time they still didn't film their whole shows.

It's a tragedy that the Mirage concert hasn't had an official DVD release in the US. In my opinion, it's far and away the best Fleetwood Mac concert video. The Tango In The Night DVD is absolute garbage mostly due to the (over)production of the show. I'm not too hot on the Live In Boston DVD(s) either. There's no reason why it should be split on two separate discs and the accompanying CD from the show isn't any better. A complete lackluster release in my view.

Besides the Tusk documentary, the documentaries for Christine's 1984 album and Mick's The Visitor need to be officially released on DVD too. Hopefully one day that will happen.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I think all the Fleetwood Mac pro-shot videos are:
1975 Largo
1975 Passaic
1976 Rosebud
1976 Midnight special
1977 Tokyo
1977 Sidney (sorry I forgot also this one!)
1978 Largo
1979 Largo
1979 Tusk documentary (St. Louis)
1980 Richfield (lost)
1982 San Bernardino or Us festival (unreleased)
1982 Inglewood or HBO concert
1987 San Francisco

while the Stevie pro-shot are:
1981 HBO concert
1983 Largo or Landover
1983 Us festival
1986 Red rocks

I personally want all the complete remastered footage released from any of this concerts.
I think it would be a nice move for FM (and Stevie) now to release box-sets of their classic albums with the remastered album, alternate versions and outer outtakes and
remastered live DVD.
For now this has been realized only for "Rumours" jumping over the white album and letting the 35 Tusk anniversay pass.
I think they don't realize how much fans want to see these things.

Was that show professionally filmed? Wild Heart tour?

Several months ago someone put a good quality 1975 Passaic concert on Youtube.

Anyone know the story behind the lost 1980 film? I wish there were more videos from the Tusk era. The documentary is the only good one I've seen (Largo one isn't the best quality; there is one 1980 Germany one showing Don't Stop, but I don't think I've seen any other songs from it)

Oh yes, I know about the Passaic show, I even downloaded it, but it momantarily slipped my mind, I'll edit my post since I forgot about the Sidney Rumours show too. The Passaic 1975 went out from the wolfgang's vault website, the same that put out the 1983 East Rutherford show. It's a great concert.

The Largo 1979 isn't the highest quality but it's a great show and there are some versions on the internet that aren't so low grade; the SuperFleetwoodmac remastered videos are sufficient and I think that with a professional remastering the Largo show could turn out just as good as the Rosebud remastered DVD of the 35th anniversary Rumours edition. I still think this last one was a waste tough and they should have put the Tokyo 1977 show as they had previously promised.

I read that the Richfield 1980 show was filmed for television and it aired on a minor TV channel but was never released. What bugs me is that it seems that noone in the entire US thought about recording it. You can see some footage from the show on the FM Tusk 20/20 special: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-NfVY51YdE

I've read that the 1983 Landover show was professionally filmed but ultimately wasn't released because Stevie was "high as a kite". I still love it more than the Us fest video though.
I'm talking about this show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aC_QoDDJ8QU
Stevie even says at 18:15 circa "See, they're filming this, that's why I'm not talking, it's because I know I'll have to watch it later..."

I have the Landover show on VHS and its blurry and muffled sound like the YT video.I got the VHS copy from a seller in the Goldmine Magazine years ago.

Yes, I've never found a decent copy either, but hopefully the original is still stored somewhere and it will be released someday, maybe complete.
Sometimes I hear of traders that have decent copies but they won't share.
The audio is good though, there's no way it's not a soundboard.
