The Rhiannon ROCKS! I'd love to hear these "even better" versions, do you know if they are available to download anywhere Viv? These live versions sure are a treat, and the whole set sounds perfect. At this point, my only gripe is not getting a previously unreleased "Sisters" demo/outtake or some unreleased Stevie songs.

I got them last century in the bootleg circles. I hope to someday transfer them from the cassettes they are on, to CD's. The versions I have heard online from other people over the years are not as great of quality as my cassettes.

I got the vinyl set here which is mint condition..I'm afraid to touch them.LOL. I agree.The YT versions sound crappy.Some YTers have no knowledge on the right way of doing it and using low quality equipment to transfering to digital. One thing that drives me nuts is when YT users post videos with one sided audio on their channel.Its a simple fix by hooking up a Y connector to the line in on the output mono source to make both sound channels play.

Some people...
have high quality (ie professionally recorded board tapes) cassettes that they will not share in the trading circles - and most of the live material on this release were from those shows (specifically the Wembley shows in 1980)

Wasn't there an alleged guy who literally fell off the face of the earth to Australia...who was rumored to have a substantial stash of uncirculated board tapes?

Meanwhile back to the subject at hand, these live versions are great. Stevie sings falsetto on Dreams and Christine even sings falsetto on Over and Over. I wish I had more to say but it's going to take me a while to get through all five discs. |

Mine arrived this morning at 8am and I happen to be off from work today. I'm currently blasting "The Alternative Tusk". The packaging is amazing!. Storms is now playing.....WOW. I have been waiting for this kind of treatment of my favorite album for a long time. The only thing missing is the documentary that was released in 1980.

First post ever
I just joined up here after searching for reviews of Tusk Expanded and being directed here. Lots of interesting posts, so I figured that I'd sign on. By way of full disclosure, my life philosophy begins with the assumption that Lindsey Buckingham hung the moon. That said, here are a few thoughts from my take on the new Tusk:
For me, the obvious stunner is "Brown Eyes". What were FM possibly thinking when they chose to release the non Peter Green version? The guitar playing is so riveting that, after hearing this one, the original release seems to miss the main point of the song. Amazing stuff. The other "wow" moment is the demo track of "I Know I'm Not Wrong". There's a hypnotic quality to the strummed acoustic guitars that seems (to me, anyway) to foreshadow some of what Lindsey is doing these days. It also recalls some of the Eno/Lou Reed influenced alt-rock bands that were emerging at the time, notably The Feelies. This is one of my all-time favorite songs and this version just spins it a whole new way. The biggest missed opportunity IMO is the live set. While the tracks they've included are great stuff, I wish the band had done a one-off show on the recent tour dedicated to this project. A live performance of the entire album by the current crew would have allowed a look at how the songs have evolved over time in live performance - a critical piece of this puzzle, IMO. Anyway, lots more thoughts, but I'll leave it at that for the first time out. I'm looking forward to visiting with all of you again soon. |

I also wish there was a little more of "alternative" vocal arrangements on that disc.

btw completely agree with you on Brown Eyes with Peter Green. they must have been completely out of it, drunk and high to not release a version based on that track.
