Yes i did see them on the Tusk Tour. I saw their 3rd show at the L.A.Forum which was quite an experience for me, then a 16 year old at his first really BIG rock show. It was December 6th, 1979, and I remember being surprised when they did Rhiannon because I had no idea it turned into this long extended 8 minute version. It was great just hearing Stevie wail away-they were truly a great rock n roll band onstage then.
I also saw the last 2 shows of that tour at the Hollywood Bowl. Horrible seats the first night, but I didnt care. It was just the thrill of being there.

I love memories like these! Is there more you might remember about these Tusk shows?

Oh, and by the way, I have no clue if this makes any difference, but my e-mail address is [email protected].

So if that saves anyone the extra trouble uploading the tracks to mediafire or some-such may cause, it would be quite alright to send them to me directly, if that's any more convenient. No rush, and thanks!

welcome scarlett of the woods!

[Scarlett DuBois]

Thanks a ton, Shack. You know, I was just combining the names of Scarlett O'Hara (Gone With The Wind) and Blanche DuBois (A Streetcar Named Desire), but now that you mention it... doesn't "Scarlett Of The Woods" sound like the title of some lost Rumours-era Stevie demo that will no doubt surface in the next few years?

I'm sorry its taking me so long to do this. I tried to do it the other night, and woke up to my computer saying that it had to close Internet Explorer. I'm going to try Disc 1 again tonight.

There's a bunch of these up on YouTube currently also. Not sure if I've caught them all, but I know I've seen "Gypsy", "The Chain", "Eyes of the World", "Love in Store", some of "Sisters of the Moon" and I think "Rhiannon". If you just search for Fleetwood Mac and maybe stick Mirage in there, you should find them.

Yeah all of those are posted. The Chain and Rhiannon by me.

Thats incredible. Ugh, if only I grew up in the 70's.

A possibly very related question...

Does anyone remember a VHS floating around that was VERY similar to this setlist? I think it was very possibly this exact concert, minus some of the songs (all of the songs listed here were on it). I got my copy of that concert at least ten years ago and I know it's from the Mirage tour, but never knew the date/location. I recently stumbled across the DVD version of that bootleg, which blew my mind. The woman who owned the store said it came from Europe.

Is the same concert? Regardless, it's definitely the same era, which oddly is one of my favorite live Mac eras, more for the setlists than anything. Thanks for uploading!

Mirage is also my favorite era.

The only video from the Mirage era I know of is the commercially released is the Fleetwood Mac: Live In Concert 1982 video, which was originally released on VHS and Laserdisc and can now be found on ebay. It has a similar setlist, and was actually filmed two days after this show.

They made the video using both nights in L.A. For example, Rhiannon was from the 1st night, as was Sisters of the Moon tongue-speaker part.

You're right about the slim pickins on video. The commercial video, obviously, plus parts of the US Festival, & there's a little bit of rehearsal (of Hold Me) used for the "2 On The Town" TV show. I haven't seen any more than that.
