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
It says:
The US Festivals
6 dicembre 2014 ·
We are in the process for clearing rights to artists, clips, and music for the 82 US Festival 1982: The US Generation Documentary. We are in the home stretch.
Keep your eyes open on full performance releases for 2015!
Enjoy the Holiday season.

P.S. the bit of Mick's interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNUeGWSVaSE

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.

Actually the soundboard of the almost whole show is circulating, with Sisters of the moon and Songbird taken from an audience recording.

I'm sure they all had their share of drinks and blow before and during the show. John definitely seems drunk or something during the bass solo. When he starts kind of botching it, I was like where's Lindsey? He needs to come in for the save. Mick picked up on it. Also, I was having trouble hearing Christine's keyboard during the latter two instrumentals.
