So much damage has already been done to virtually every Fleetwood concert on tape that it's important to keep future copies as pristine as possible, & apparently this technology encourages that. But I just don't see an overwhelming interest in this principle on the part of the fans in general. And where are the shows coming from that are posted to the torrent? from somebody's 139th-generation tape!

Yep, all problems that I'm aware of myself too. Let's face it, Fleetwood Mac fans of the days of yore (when we're speaking of the Rumours line-up) were hardly akin to the enthusiastic tapers of Grateful Dead or various jazz ensembles. There might not have been truly anal retentive, foam-mouthed tapers & concert collectors in the FM fan community and while that has obviously saved people's nerves, I personally would've preferred it that way than the way it is now. Ah well, I was born 25 years too late anyway.

Ok, I think I'm almost there. Here's the situation so far. I went to Quick Open File on my VLC Player. Found the file, clicked details to see which one was bigger, clicked the one that was. Well it seems to open on the player but there is no sound, no video, but the little progress scrolling thing is moving and there is also no tracking number that shows the progress (no clue what its called). And I never could figure out how to "verify" with the Md5 thing. And I didn't really know which one to download. So if anyone has any patience left, I would greatly appreciate it.

OK SCRATCH WHAT I JUST SAID.....I DID IT!

My cd burner died the death this week, so I've ordered a dvd burner for the old puter. I have all the files downloaded, I've just not been able to convert them to Mpegs. I "think" this will be easier with a dvd burner, right?

Is this the upgraded version? I know there's a newer circulating version (Along with the Cal Jam) and wanted to know if this was it (The newer version has great audio/picture quality compared to the older version, Which was at best a "B" grade overall.)

Here's a screenshot, you can probably tell which version it is from this.

Did you notice during Stand Back, how she wasn't wearing the black and gold shawl? What's up with that?

It's hard to tell whether that's a real upgrade or not.

Also, "Stand Back," "Outside the Rain" & "Stop Dragging My Heart Around" were all broadcast on Showtime, so screenshots from that broadcast are going to look a lot better obviously.

What I want to know -- & what Neil won't tell me -- is where that upgrade of the Landover 7-07-83 video came from. That's a major, serious upgrade, a real find!

There's a great Cal Jam 2 on WMA going around (along with a lot of crappy ones) because Brian @ MSN still had his videotape of a rerun of it on TV, & he transferred it. I don't think he got the post-performance interview, though.

It definitely looked clearer...So the copy I have coming in may be the upgraded version afterall.

Thank you for another great surprise Neil.

I wish they would just release the US Festivals on DVD, like Live Aid. That'd be awesome.

I know...I plan to start trading for Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks CD and DVD boots later this month. It's great because it's inexpensive and the trading people seem really nice, but I'd love for the shows to be available to a wider audience.
