They need to reissue The Mirage Live 82 Concert

[goldie]

I have the VHS original tape that I bought when I used to work at a video store back in the late 80s. I asked my manager to PLEASE PLEASE buy it for the store. Then I bought it from the store before I left for college.

I DO hope they release it on DVD, to see & hear SOTM in DVD quality will be worth the price alone!

That would be cool to see.

Alas, it would be a struggle, since it was filmed and originally shown on HBO. That would be sone fun red tape to cut through. But hey, that's just what I think.

Here's to a lot of hopin'! Heck, they release that TITN video, they should consider this one too!!

Edit: I bought my copy of it on eBay, paid thirty dollars for it...
Hey, then the seller threw TITN for five bucks more!

I'd also like to see the Tusk Documentary on DVD. Or in any form, seeing as though I've yet to see it.

Definitely worth seeing if you ever get the chance.

Definitely agree! This concert is Fleetwood Mac at their absolute peak. All the songs are incredible, especially Sisters of the Moon and Lindsey's orgasmic Not that Funny. I also love Blue Letter and Rhiannon- so much energy! My VHS copy that I bought on Ebay for like $20 just broke the last time I tried to play it. So disappointing! It wasn't very good quality but it was better than nothing!

I hope they don't take the probabably non-existant sales of the TITN DVD as a reason not to release any more old Fleetwood Mac videos. I haven't even seen it (TITN) and the reviews ya'll have given it have not given me a reason to! BUT the Mirage and Tusk videos really should be released~

I'd say it's worth getting it if you can find it cheap like I did - $15 Canadian. It's very very very dated and funny [Mick's coked-out(?) ramblings about the clock ticking away human incompetence, Stevie's hair!!!!] and not all that great. But it will make you appreciate The Dance even more. Every time I watch TITN I have to at least watch The Chain on The Dance

Stevie looks great in the close-ups, but frightening from a distance. The hair is one reason.

Yeah, and with a whole bunch of extras too!

[DeadliestPoison]

Another thing on my WishList? A DVD of aaaall the music videos, not unlike the petition that began here at the Penguin a while ago.

I made a VCD of all the ones I could find, and the quality on some of them (by 'quality,' I don't mean that some of it's fuzzy, because they're all really sharp & focused - by 'quality' I mean color balance, etc) - especially I Can't Wait (Stevie's kinda orange in my MPG) - is less-than-stellar.

I bought my original Mirage Live vhs on Ebay, for about 40 I think. It was worth it, it is an excellent copy, I even copied the audio to my computer, it is great. I definetly wish this would come out on dvd also with the Tusk documentry, if you are a fan then they are DEFINETLY worth seeing.

But I doubt if they will ever be released, if they are I am sure Stevie will want to reshoot some close ups like her other 80's taped concerts, haha I always hated that. But I wouldn't mind seeing Stevie do a performance of Sister of the Moon like that again. heh

What extra footage? I have the tape and remeber she sings this song, but do you mean an additional performance? Where was it?

How about the songs they videotaped, but didn't release, like HOLD ME!

And what about that cover!?!?!?!?

Oh Mirage is great! I got mine on tape from someone and it's still holding up after a million watches.

SOM is really crazy and not my favorite part. Mine is Rhiannon, The Chain and NTF.

You see pot smoking, you see Stevie's best Deborah Harry impersonation and you see Lindsey completely underwearless.

I don't think this is them at their peak. I think they are all pretty messed up at this point. Stevie just lost Robin and her mind with it, Mick is gone, Christine is drunk, John is....John and Lindsey is in his IM THE BEST mode, IMO. But it's still great to watch and I'd buy it in a second on DVD.

TUSK doc is great. I think they are more at their best here. I would love the extras on here...like the photo shoot and the pie throwing party..this would be a great dvd.

And the Rumours Behind the Scenes...even better...you really see them at their peak for sure...wonderful crazy young FM before they are too burnt out and bitter...
