Still trying to figure out how Over & Over, Not That Funny and Never Going Back Again ended up on that over Second Hand News, Tusk, and You Make Loving Fun and maybe a few other songs, like Songbird and I Know I’m Not Wrong. It’s a bit too much.

Did they play IKINW in 79-80? For whatever reason I thought that one didn’t get unearthed until SYW.

The Chain, Tusk, Sisters, You Make Loving Fun, Second Hand News, and a legit recording of Don’t Stop belonged on that album well ahead of some of the chosen songs. I’m glad the Tusk Deluxe and Live Deluxe addressed some of the missing links.

From the Tusk rehearsals.

I will always love when it was just the five of them onstage.

But was it played at concerts? I was looking for 1979/80 shows with IKINW and only find 2 dates with this song included in the set list, but both at "unknown venue" so I guess it was the rehearsals.

Since once I read this website is not 100% reliable, I ask if anybody actually saw IkINW in the Tusk tour?

Never say never, I guess. For a long time, nobody but a few Europeans knew that Fleetwood Mac played “That’s Enough for Me” in concert. Then an audience tape finally surfaced from somewhere in Europe, and now we have a fantastic version of it from Wembley on the Tusk Deluxe release. Have you heard that?

If you’re interested in IKINW, the most logical place to look is probably the first couple of shows in October. That first concert in Boise, Idaho, may have featured several amazing songs that they rehearsed: IKINW, The Ledge, Honey Hi, That’s All for Everyone, Brown Eyes. A week ahead of the opening night, they were still rehearsing The Ledge right after Over and Over, and IKINW was after Sisters of the Moon and before Songbird. More of Tusk the album was planned for the tour. It’s both interesting and confusing to ponder the songs that went in and out of rotation from October 1979 to September 1980: Over and Over, Think About Me, Save Me a Place, That’s Enough for Me. (Never Forget seems an obvious choice for a concert closer.) So far as I know, the Tusk constants were Sara, What Makes You Think You’re the One, Not That Funny, Sisters of the Moon, Angel, and Tusk. Six songs were kept in the set all year solid. That’s not too bad, really, for Fleetwood Mac, but it sure doesn’t measure up to the white album or Rumours.

And five songs from Tusk were part of the 1982 shows. How’s that? Not bad. Who says Tusk was a failure?
