But how do we really know what tour those takes came from? Just curious

It's based on what instruments they're playing (Christine and Lindsey started playing noticeably different instruments in 1979), on arrangements ("Never Going Back Again," for example, is rearranged between the earlier tour and the later tour), and on comparisons with all the audience concert tapes people have.

The songs NOT from the Tusk tour on that album are:

1. Monday Morning
2. Say You Love Me
3. Dreams
4. Over My Head
5. Rhiannon
6. Don't Let Me Down Again
7. Don't Stop

Nobody's ever been able to figure out where Stevie's post-recorded vocal on "Sara" came from—or why it sounds so beautifully gin-soaked in 1980, exactly like a 1982 rendition.
