Fleetwood Mac: 1977-12-05 Tokyo, Japan (Video_Pro Shot_1 DVD)

This is an excellent video of Fleetwood Mac from 38 years ago (and a few hours) as they finished their tour in Japan on the Rumors tour.  The video seems to be sourced from about 3 different sources from what I can tell.  A good remastering of this video would make for a great project.  However, it is already a great-to-excellent copy I think and a very enjoyable viewing experience.

I had mistakenly put this show into a folder for December 6th otherwise I would have uploaded it yesterday on its anniversary.  So it is one day later than its 38th anniversary due to my mistake.

This is not the complete concert unfortunately.  I'm not sure if the full concert has ever surfaced to be honest.  And as I mentioned earlier, I think this is a video sourced from three different sources.  One source has no time stamp, one has one time stamp, and the third has three time stamps on the screen.


Some of the various sources for this DVD reportedly are from a TV program that was being made for the Japan show(s) that never got released and some live performances as well as outtakes (or rehearsals) too.  It is a confusing mess of information really.

The quality varies in the different videos.  There is some static in some songs that seems a little heavier in the right channel and other songs are clean and clear.  If I really knew the story on these videos and the whole project it would be easier to explain the differences in the video/songs.  But the songs were arranged in the correct order they were played live reportedly.  So even though the December 5th video is not complete at least the video is in the right order with what is on it.

I like Fleetwood Mac and that helps me rate this video higher.  But if you don't like them, well, this might be only as high as a great on your scale (see ratings).  But to me, even with the flaws, I still rate this one as a great-to-excellent DVD.

I hope you enjoy the show...
