New Mirage tour live album on Spotify

[GJK]

Listening to the new release right now (on Spotify); 'Not that funny' clocks in at 9:06, and it is not the original (rather annoying) version that was released in 1983 (on VHS).

How can you tell? I don't have YMLF available yet.

Spotify claims that is from the 22nd, and that it is a '2024 remaster'. Not every song has a '2024 remaster' extension.

Gotcha, thanks!

For those who can't wait: only Don't stop, Dreams, Oh well and Never going back again are from 21 October.

On Spotify, these all sound like the video renditions to me:

• Not That Funny
• I’m So Afraid
• Blue Letter
• Sisters of the Moon

Vocal tics, solos, and even crowd noises are identical to the video. Even the missing beat on “Sisters of the Moon” is still missing.

Now, I never heard this set on the old laser disc, but I did hear the set when Westwood One aired it in 1982–83. I can’t be sure about mastering, but there’s a clarity here — I hope I’m not imagining. When the CD is actually available, we should be able to look for a remastering credit, if there is one.

These Rhino/Spotify dates are not necessarily trustworthy, I believe. Some of what is dated Oct. 22 is Oct. 21, I think. At least in this case, we are just batting around same-venue dates on two consecutive nights. It isn’t as frustrating.

The original VHS recording lasted (...) for 10:43 (without applause and so).

Thanks for this!

Rhiannon is totally different. I like the altered lyrics. I think it’s great that there are alternative versions here that I wasn’t expecting. This is great news!

That has pissed me off, that and the clipped version of NTF, which has John's sick extended bass solo before the drum break.

Rhiannon is different from what was previously released.
So we have so far:
Dreams
Oh Well
Rhiannon
Gypsy
NGBA
Landslide
Sara
You Make Loving Fun

As a Fleetwood Mac fan, you cannot really be disappointed by this release. Vocals have been tightened, the harmonies are very clear, as are Chris's keys. Lindsey's guitars have a sparkle to them, unheard previously.

I'm ecstatic, I wasn't with the Live Rumours release. Let's force them to release the Hollywood Bowl show from 1980 and i'll be content...for now.

I briefly listened to YMLF before bed. Just the few measures sounded different.

So the day has finally come. I wanted to know if it's worth buying the whole album, and this may sound obvious, but since you never know with these Fleetwood Mac releases (and in iTunes the songs in this new album just says “Live at The Forum, Inglewood, CA, 10/21/82”), I needed to ask: are the live songs already included on the 2016 Mirage Deluxe edition, described as “Live at the Forum, Los Angeles, CA, October 21 & 22, 1982,” exactly the same ones on this new album?

From the previous posts it seems some songs are different versions (or mixes), but I reiterate my question anyway. If they are the same, I would buy only the songs not released before (unless the total cost difference wasn't relevant)

And why am I not surprised by what iTunes says?

[BigAl84]

The labeling on the tapes must be a mess. I’m not sure Rhino even knew what songs are from which night. Well, clearly they don’t because we’re already able to figure out what’s different from the video etc. Regardless, this is still an improvement over the 2016 disc!

No surprise in any of that.
Is there no other audio available or are people this lazy and they just keep using the same footage that was edited together badly from 2 nights at the Forum.

**Sigh**
When the deluxe Mirage was released it was this same concert minus a few songs.
