And yes, I still have the Greensboro Stevie show, will upload it here tomorrow

Yes, but in all the 5 years that I've searched for bootlegs the only shows that I've found for Buffalo, Little Rock, Glasgow, Kansas, Uniondale and Birmingham are there, I think that right now they aren't circulating.

Instead:
Orlando 29-5-77
Tokyo 5-12-77
Dallas 23-7-78
Detroit 19-9-82
Tempe 30-9-82
East Troy 10-10-82
Baton Rouge 13-10-82
Denver 15-10-82
Oakland 20-10-82
were all present both in lossless and MP3 formats on the Ivorykeys blogspot before its shut down, so in the next weeks they will be posted again while rebuilding the site.

During the early times in my bootlegs hunt I've found interesting things on this site, maybe you can find something interesting under the lossless tag: http://www.guitars101.com/forums/tag...=fleetwood+mac

Thanks for the link. The shows I''m looking for are on a lot of peoples list but they won''t share or answer e-mails. Too bad, ,was hoping those people were freq visiting this site and maybe would want to share. I can get most of the shows around the net in MP3, but I want them lossless, and that''s the prob. Well(oh well) I just have to have patience, I guess(not my strong point though).

Btw, I came across a post off a while earlier about someone''s list of audio shows on etree. The person involved moved to another place to live and gave his collection to somebody. Would ,anyone know to whom he gave his stuff???

It concerned this thread:

That would be me.

All of the Stevie Nicks shows from this collection (plus some I had in my mediafire account) have all been posted in the Stevie forum.

I am still in the process of uploading Fleetwood Mac shows to online storage but have posted some online already. Most of what was in this collection has also been posted by welcomechris and SisterNightroad here in the Rumours forum.

However, none of the shows were lossless. All are being uploaded in 320kbps MP3. Shows with a lower bitrate than that are those that were left in my mediafire account or that I found elsewhere on the net (IvoryKeys, blogs, here on the Ledge, etc.) and the large majority of them do not go below 160kbps.

I understand your frustration. I truly do. Virtually all of the TITN and BTM shows were recorded and are in the hands of fans along with hard to find shows from other Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks tours. They weren't always the best sound quality (most were B/B- and below) but at least they were recorded. I remember trading extensively with a wonderful trader from Italy and a gentleman here in the States somewhere who had these shows but they were all on cassette. I spent months trading with both gentlemen, who were excellent to trade with, to gather all the TITN and BTM shows I could with the intention to either transfer them myself or eventually send them to Brian J so he could do the transfers (he did top quality transfers). I managed to get to a few done but never got around to sending them to Brian J (who has since stopped trading--what an asset to the trading community he was!) and I don't have the shows anymore. However, they are still out there. I've seen them on one public trade list on CD (I assume this trader got them from the same traders I did as they first showed up on their list on cassette) but they never make it to the Internet in MP3 or lossless format. It would be nice if these never-before-circulated shows would be posted for everyone to enjoy regardless of whether it's an A or a D recording. I've never understood the reasoning behind hoarding a C-quality audience recording.

I really miss the good old days when FM/SN fan sites were all over the place. So many great sites back in the day used to post shows and demos and outtakes on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. Some were dedicated to Stevie, some to Lindsey and some to the band. Others took in everything and you could see a mix of all sorts of shows and rarities being posted. I did it myself for a while and it was a lot of work, especially since I was still on dial-up back then and it felt like uploads took days to complete. It sure was fun, though! I'm trying to restore as much of the old site I used to work with as possible along with download links for as much as I can get a hold of. The only data I have left is what is still on the Internet Archive so it's really slow going and I know some of it I will never be able to put back together. I'll give it my best shot, though!

Another good site for getting lossless (and some MP3) FM/SN/LB is the Thrown Down torrent site. It is dedicated to FM and its members. There are a lot of torrents needing seeds (a simple re-seed request usually fixes that) and the collection is by no means complete but there is some great stuff there:

http://lvps87-230-78-245.dedicated.hosteurope.de/

I used to also frequent The Traders Den back in the day. It's sort of like dimeadozen and occasionally a good gem will come along: http://www.thetradersden.org

Thank you for the Greensboro 1983 show, btw.

thank you for your explanation. It''s a shame that the stuff you got is all lossy. I am gathering a bit of great shows from somebody who is very generous to me so there are still fans out there who want to share. I am slowly gonna upload things at the Ivory keys facebook page(all lossless) so stay tuned!!
