Years ago, one of the horn players that was on stage that night came here to post and share their experience. I don't recall a mention of their parts being prerecorded, but they also may have all signed a non-disclosure agreement.

They could have been live for the taping, but later completely replaced with the same part recorded in the studio and added back (overdubbed) into the live track that we hear on the CD/DVD.

lol you're so cute. it was such a thrill for us to chat w people at shows and even online. an entire world of mac fans that as a teen i never imagined existed haha

I like that Mirage version, but don't feel her voice was in peak. When I listen her at the mid 70s tours, there I do love her voice! Landslide, Rhiannon...

I love the HBO Mirage Gypsy performance. Everything about it is so special. I love that she is almost late to the microphone during a HBO recorded concert. I always thought she looks stoned in this performance with her sleepy eyes. But when someone throws a flower on stage she bends down to get it and she has the cutest and most adorable smile. Then she smiles again during the "maybe once, maybe twice." Its so cute. Mirage shows definitely had some vocal fry. But she tackled the song perfectly IMHO. So glad this magic was captured on video. Now where is the rest of this damn concert?

Good points. They were definitely playing their instruments but would they not have over powered the music or would the music have overpowered the marching band. So I am a bit suspicious.

Of course he does. He owned Obie's Lighting.

Here’s a link to that Paris show. Great audio!

It’s Largo, Md, I think. Or both shows could be “for screening only” copies.

I think you're right. Now that I think about, it's written on the disc. I moved 18 months ago, and haven't seen it since(it's packed away still).

Ahhh Yes, it's Largo, MD. I have it somewhere on VHS.

Someone sent me a DVD of it, 10-15 years ago.
