I guess we can dream

if we are talking about solo members' DVDs, definitely Lindsey's Soundstage and Small Machine Live in LA are well worth it.

there is no good DVD release of Tusk doc like that, i bought one before and it's crappy and grainy and bad.

Live in Boston is pretty great.

I consider the Argentina and Brazil copies are boots copies from somebodies VHS tapes.I guess Amazon dont care if people sell boots on their website.

yes they are boots, but they are not crappy, that Mirage one is pretty great quality when you compare to all the Tusk doc boots floating out there. and without them we wouldn't have any good ones considering FM and WB don't care about releasing them.

To come think about it. You are right.Most of our VHS copies are shot with dropouts galore.

They are better then nothing.

Fleetwood Mac has issued very few live concert DVDs. At least The Dance and and Say You Will were complete shows. The Tango in the Night DVD, as some others have mentioned, is an atrocity in it's production, and doesn't even feature the entire show.

I wish someone would release DVDs with footage of their early days, circa 1975-1979. Because it's owned by various entities, getting the rights would be challenging. It's unfortunate the Mirage show has not been reissued. I have the official originally released VCR edition, but it doesn't feature the entire show. I hope the rest of unused footage has been preserved. I have my doubts.

I agree on hoping the unused footage is still around.
Its worth gold to us fans.I hope it shows up somewhere and not in the dumpster as people and businesses clean out their old warehouses or storage bins.

Will someone going to meet Mick at a meet and greet or a book signing ask
him about the uncut Mirage video?

Also can ask him on releasing the Tusk docu on DVD too.

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.
This is the complete setlist: http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/fleetw...-13d261ed.html

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.

**SisterNightroad** · #30 11-29-2014, 01:29 PM

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.
