Tusk video?

elie · #1 12-19-2005, 04:44 AM

Hello everyone!
I just registered a couple of days ago and today my account was validated so I thought I should ask a question. I hope it's ok that I started a new thread.I have to add that I am a relatively new FM fan- I mean I had a couple of albums when I was a teenager but I sort of rediscovered them lately and I am really into them now.
I was looking for some videos on the internet the other day and I came across something called "Tusk 1979" or something like that. I downloaded it and it turned out that it was some kind of a recording session - FM with the USC band at an open stadium or something. It looked like a documentary footage, you could also hear the members of the band talking and at the end (it was not very long, 4 minutes maybe) there was Stevie Nicks dancing with a twirl baton (is that the right word?? english is not my mother tongue

).
Does anyone know what this is? Is it perhaps a part of a longer documentary/making of kind of thing?

Fleetwood recorded the USC Trojan Marching Band at Dodger Stadium for the horns on the album cut, & the whole band (except John) & producers & engineers were all there doing a little work & being filmed. Some of the footage, which is essentially marketing footage, was used as the broadcast video for the song on the music video channels, & since then some additional footage has been found by fans, friends & foes. I think the Dodger Stadium stuff was a single day in June 1979.

Welcome!!

The Tusk video is ... odd, to say the least. Especially the cardboard cutout of John.

I think it's just a music video, that's what I've always known it as anyway. Check out the VH1 website and www.throwndown.net -- they have a good collection.

Again, welcome!

Welcome to the board!!

I love the cardboard cut out of John! and also when stevie is twirling the baton

but it also cracks me up at the end when stevie is jumping up and down waving her hat and Liddy nudges her and tells her to sit down.
