It was one of the first songs to be released using a digital mixdown from an original analog source. (where it was certified Silver for sales of over 250,000 copies) and 3 in Australia and Canada. charts for three weeks, reached 6 in the U.K. We went to Dodger stadium and got the band out on the infield. 'Tusk' is a song by Fleetwood Mac from the 1979 double LP of the same name. “Mick had this whole idea where he wanted to film it. On June 4, 1979, the band recorded the legendary video for 'Tusk' at an empty Dodger Stadium with more than a hundred members of the USC Marching Band. “The challenge of that was getting the marching band on the existing track, in sync with the other instruments,” recalled Lindsey Buckingham in a Guitar World interview. The USC Trojan Marching Band marched into history 42 years ago when it recorded the title track of a soon-to-be double platinum album with legendary rock group Fleetwood Mac. Everyone followed the brass band around the town, and I thought, ‘What a good idea!'” During the recording of the album, Mick Fleetwood got a large pair of replica elephant tusks that he set up on either side of the console, which became known as 'Tusk.' Whenever the console wasnt working, the band would say, 'Tusk is down, Tusk isnt working' According to Stevie Nicks, the tusks gave them inspiration. “As the day went on, they got drunker and drunker. “I was in a room in the town square with a horrific hangover, and I was woken by the sound of the local brass band that relentlessly went round and round the square,” Fleetwood told British GQ in 2015. The idea for bringing a marching band onto the song was the brainchild of Mick Fleetwood, who was inspired by a brass band he’d heard outside a hotel room in Barfleur, a fishing village in northern France. This DVD is as close as it gets.Still a ten for me.40 years ago today, Fleetwood Mac teamed up with the USC Marching Band and recorded the bit for the title track of their 1979 album TUSK that everyone remembers. Would see them again tomorrow if they were here. What a concert!!! And 2 encores later LB was still stealing the show with his guitar solos. Saw these guys live last week with Lindsay Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, Jihn McVie and of course Mick Fleetwood.

Christie McVie's encore "For You" has to be heard to be believed. As this concert goes on it has the effect of turning it up just a little bit more after each song until you get to the band's finale. The songs in this concert are so much a part of our lives today we take them for granted. Stevie Nicks voice is as beautiful today as it was 20 years ago. For a divorced couple, both John and Christie McVie put aside their differences to deliver an electric performance and Mick Fleetwood just superb on drums. Lindsay Buckingham is just brilliant on lead guitar. Most of the others have either someone missing from the lineup or members appearing on stage and certainly not enjoying themselves as they do on this one. The song peaked at number eight in the United States for three weeks, reached number six in the United Kingdom (where it was certified Silver for sales of over 250,000 copies), number five in Canada, and number three in Australia. There are several DVD's out there of Fleetwood Mac but none of them measure up to this re-union concert. 'Tusk' is a song by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac from the 1979 double LP of the same name.
