I bought it on ebay. Got US Festival and the HBO concert for about $20 total. Don't know if that's a good deal or a ripoff or if I could have gotten them free somewhere, but it was worth it to have both on DVD.

I never knew the entire US Festival concert was available. I had a tape a long time ago, but it only had Outside The Rain, Stand Back, and SDMHA.

Also, the first (ever) performance of Stand Back:

"What does that mean, you may ask??? Quicksand. And you're the only 200,000 people in the world who'll know that."

I was LMAO all night. Also when she messes up the beginning of Gold and Braid by babbling about how she had to take the tambourine from Lori...or somehting like that.

This is my most precious DVD. I guard it with my life. I LOOOOVE IT.

Favorite quote? - (intoducing the band) "..my roommate and my friend, Miss Sharon Celani; dark hair. She's yours for $25,000. Aaaaaand Miss Loretta Perry. From Texas.....And Mr. Film Camera from we don't know where. That is my band."

Amber, you may be talking about the Saturday Night Live performances. Nightbird and Stand Back.

If anyone wants the US Festival show I can open it back up on dimeadozen for download. It does take a bit of time to download as it's a large file.

No need to bother, the same exact copy (in very good quality) that was available for download once at Dime has now been posted to David's Fleetwood Mac Bit Torrent tracker at http://www.throwndown-videos.net/bittorrents/.
Me and David are currently seeding it. Too bad I can't help for a long time, for my holiday starts tomorrow.

No, not SNL. It's US festival, I just got the songs wrong I guess.
anyway, is dimeadozen torrent, or regular download? That torrent thing worked once for me, but never again.

Yeah, Showtime broadcast the second US Festival with abbreviated sets, including those three Stevie songs. Plus, Westwood One simulcast the broadcast. But the whole Stevie set was never available commercially & still isn't to this day.

There's a lot more interest in the US Festivals these days, I'm noticing. Sites are going up with people's anecdotes & memories, & even tapes of the shows themselves are cropping up in trade circles. Somewhere out there is video of Fleetwood Mac's entire set in 1982. That's why Tom Petty wrote: "The waiting is the hardest part."

Thanks Gaius. I'll check with David. Maybe I can help seed while you are on holiday. Have a great time!

It's a torrent site and unfortunately for me and my hard drive - very addicting!

Angel

Outside The Rain

Leather And Lace

[amber]

Oh, thanks, you reminded me, I have Outside the Rain and something else.

I think Becky sent me this video a couple years ago and I went back to look for it last night and it's gone! Who wants to be my new best friend and hook me up with a copy? I'll trade audio but I don't have a way to copy videos. Help a sista out!

[GODDESS6]

I love the bit about Girl Scout cookies, and selling Sharona for $10,000.00. Yep, one of the best Stevie performances evah! I could go on and on about this one...
