People don't forget that John McVie's bass playing is the foundation Fleetwood Mac is built upon. He's a fantastic bass player.

Christine rocking out to the accordion, Mick's sinister facial expressions, Stevie's strange bird call(?) at 3:32, Lindsey and Christine's "Tusk" at 3:41, my God, they are all so high. Even so, I love them all to death, and I absolutely love this performance.

Christine is killing that accordion! What a legend. She was so extraordinarily talented. R.I.P. Songbird. 🕊❤

This is the version I prefer: Mick Fleetwood pounding away at a tweeker's pace, Christine's steady squeeze box marking time and Lindsey's endearing but unhinged performance. Brilliant!!!

Man Christine is awesome

Lindsey Buckingham is so amazingly talented. A gift of playing guitar at a ridiculous level, and vocal ability to go with it. IMHO, there's no Mac without him. Some members of bands can be replaced, but not him. Or Stevie. Goosebumps. WOW.

THANK YOU Ms Christine McVie for coming back to where you belong! Tusk live is not the same without you!

I'm beginning to realize the Mirage concert was their greatest concert ever and sorely wish it was on CD.

This is my favorite version of TUSK.

at 0:42, the stage hand gives Mick a key bump of coke. one of many probably lol

Every time I hear this song I feel like I should be dancing naked around a bonfire with a bone in my teeth.

Despite the lyrics, the music feels as if this is a happy upbeat song. It's great to see them all jamming together.

Awesome how talented rockers could implement any instrument like an accordion and rock the hell out of it!

Christine plays accordian too. Super talented! Great song. Love seeing all 5 of them together like this. Miss you, Christine!

I saw this memorable LA concert on HBO in 1982 and have it on DVD.

"Tusk" has always been one of my favorite songs of all time. Whether studio or live versions, it's all good!

God Lindsey Buckingham is amazing.

Sick version. This concert is amazing.

So much pain and recrimination between Stevie and Lindsey. The awful truth is I think it made their song writing and on stage energy better.

First time I watched this awesome performance. It was such a pleasure hearing them play all together. They're so talented and professional in every thing they do. They will always be remembered and go down in Rock History!

I love Lindsey's guitar style, it is really unique. I don't believe he ever uses a pick does he? I am glad though he is done with his hat phase. LOL

It's unfortunate we can't find good drugs like this anymore... I meant music ;)

It's a pity the video quality is so poor, but this is far and away the best perfomance of Tusk you're ever gonna see.

"AYO-YEEEHAA" XD I saw this years ago and for some reason it cracks me up hahahaha!

3:33 Stevie Nicks does her Yoko Ono impression

Tusk is one of the most underated albums of all time

Gotta love Percussion! Lindsey so underrated!

Every time they play a song its a unique version and its simply fantastic, the passion and talent surrounding those people will never wear. Simply the best.

Lindsey so underrated!

I love lindseys voice is amazing i love him and fleetwood mac! thanks for sharing th video

what a good bass player the sound is perfect

The best versión I have seen, amazing

Gotta love Percussion!

Thank you. Wish they would release this concert on dvd. It's the best. Really miss Christine, esp after seeing her great rapport here with the band in concert.

Prime Fleetwood Mac 1982!

John Is the most underrated bassist of all time!

Awesome. Just saw them in new jersey last week. Times have changed but still great to finally see them. Missed Christie in this song and no little lies

I just love how manic Lindsay B was. As i remember (it was over 30y) he had a lot of bad press at the time, he didn't really fit as a guitar hero. But looking back his playing is really raw.

Great version. Love this!

AWESOME vid.....thank you!

I just heard this song yesterday (Can't believe I missed it!)... everything's perfect!

This is great, I love this song

The song TUSK has been in my life since a small child when my parents would play it over and over. What is the best version of Tusk out there? MilesHighChris plays Tusk a lot. Fleetwood Mac is in rotation quite a bit. I once saw a punk rock show at The Climax Lounge in Denver with Fleetwood Mac being mixed in. MilesHighChris took a lot of crap that day and went fishing in the cold with this unique experience in mind at Cherry Creek State Park in Aurora CO. I wish i could remember the bands names that played live. I just remember them wanting to throw stuff at me but this a breakthrough social moment for me in my short started career. Thank you Fleetwood Mac and thank you to the local Denver Punk scene!

I love this band so much!

Gonna miss you Christine.🥰

Great version 👏🏻

Odd that Mick Fleetwood's stage face looks like a deranged madman when in-truth I've heard he's one of the nicest, most generous and most gracious superstars around. He really does run the band and that's why they have had the longevity they have. He's a damned good manager and most bands that try to self manage fail at it.

Now, that's a JAM BEYON MEASURE! 🙉🙊

thank you and respect

I know Stevie openly, and Lindsay secretly love Led Zep, and there's a few songs that have been influenced by Zep, Tusk is one of them, it is clearly a very close relative of "Trampled Underfoot". I didn't come up w/ this myself, it was told to me by music insiders w/ more knowledge than I have. Listen closely, you'll hear it.

Just discovered this song from the pilot of The Americans - amazing tune! Gonna see this band in october 2013 - looking forward to it!

You can actually hear the Cocaine in this one

My favorite cut!

one of the best ever bands!

@Gregsynth Good to see you here, and you're right it is! On the Tusk tour (1979) they played it at the same speed as on record. On The Dance (1997) and all tours following they played it a bit faster than on the record.

They look like they're having the time of their lives!

This is super😊

Classic!

A good time was had by all!

You almost never hear anyone talk about Lindsey's drug problems, but I think he was the most coked up of all of them here.

Buckinghamshire distinguished voice and his exceptional guitar play made the band undoubtably

Thanks a bunch for your comment!! F.Mac is my fave band of all-time too. (:

It's one of my faves too. Thanks for commenting!! (:

yes, indeed.........kick ass!

2:46 woah they’re actually existing near each other

Glad that you enjoyed this one!! (:

May 17 in Calgary. My wife and I are going to be there. Too bad Christine McVie won't be there too. Should be great. I hope they like their time in Canada. We enjoy them, so it's only fair they enjoy us.

Oh my God you can hear the melotrone in the second stanza!!

thank you and respect Not sure why but Lindsey reminds me of Cowboy Bebop's Spike.

me too specially the live versions where they have the LSU marching band with them.

You're VERY welcome. Thanks for your comment!! By the way, I agree ~ Lindsey's voice is amazing!! (:

Ya i totally agree!

Buckingham made Fleetwood Mac, it's a fact

Que recuerdos,estaba yo, en la mili

Thanks!! Glad that you like this one. (:

Live is so much better than on cd

Lindsey so underrated! at 0:42, the stage hand gives Mick a key bump of coke. one of many probably lol

Thanks for your comment!! Glad that you enjoyed this one. (:

Thanks!! (:

2:24 THIS IS SPARTAAAAA!!! Long live Mick fleetwood"

Nice to see lindsey throw in a lick from 'World Turning' at 3:00.

years and years and years ago.

Lindsey's so coked up lmao I love it

GOOO Mick!!!

they went fucking insane

Glad that you like this one!! Thanks for your comment!! (:

Drumming like a madman

4:20, can you see why Old Mick always reminded me of Cut-throat Jake? I would like to hear this song without vocals

To be an ounce of blow in that green room on a horizontal mirror that tour…!

Thanks for viewing my video and for commenting!! (:

omg they are all as high as a kite

@SuperFleetwoodMAC ~ Thanks!! Me too. (:

@cnqnmei im sure they have. iv seen it on ebay loads of times :)

Clearly off the skulls on drugs, brilliant song !

maybe a little wasted....mostly angry at one another I think...lot goin' on back then...love em' - saw them last year at Nassau Coliseum - they still rock - wish Christie was there.

Lindsey from 0:58-1:11 MARRY ME

@darklordojeda we all were!

Not sure why but Lindsey reminds me of Cowboy Bebop's Spike.
