According to Mick's book they flew in from helicopter and it was the last time Mick saw Robin.
I dont think the sound issues were exclusive to Fleetwood Mac. Motley Crue sounds even worse. I dont know if it was the mixing there or the transfer from tape to youtube. But its all messed up. Regardless, its rock and roll and the way its supposed to be. No pre-recorded tracks. No professional background singers. No monitors to show you the lyrics. I love those imperfect details. This is why while I loved Lindsey's return for the Dance, the Dance was a disappointment. Live music in the late 90s was bombarded with technology getting the perfect sound. I wanted and much preferred the 70s and 80s arena rock.

The clips that were finally released in the past couple of years really show just how coked up/drunk they were. I can't imagine how things would have went if they had a reason to tour between 83-85.
