TUSK

[acotw67]

The Spirit of Troy earned its first platinum disk for this, so a "Solid Gold "appearance isn't surprising.But that stage is wretched-it's far too small for USC's incomparable drumline and the song girls are on the floor!

[abotyo]

un sonido muy poderozo

****STARS

[fergie1098]

I was never a big Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks guy, but this was a cool song, and Stevie looked pretty hot as a Baton twirler!

[henrysinaga]

Was Dionne Warwick a wrestling champ back then?

[Bag0fRats]

And to think I sometimes think new music is shit, this crap could easily induce vomiting if I ate something I shouldn't have.

[elkintobitle]

Stevie Nicks mamasita!!! I love you.

[rickyt11]

Damn! the Trojans song girls are so, so good

looking, and sexy : )

[jacek666b]

OMG what a shit!!

[mwang213]

Fightin' On since the golden years HAHA

[padude64]

Totally awesome!

[DOCTOROFMINDMD]

i was a freshman at USC at that time wild

[3RDIDGUY]

Awesome!!!!!!!!!

[texaspilcher]

More than awesome,omplete

[HenningChristensen93]

Indeed! You're 100% right (Talking to ethanotemo). Though, it would need a hell of a lot of practising for this to be reproduced! But why do you need the USC band? There's others just as good, if not better, who can manage to do this (Talking to vamnews)!

[ethanotemo]

becuse usc was so kick ass at the tome... usc pretty much set the bar for what marching bands are today

[texaspilcher]

You have to askUSC,you numb nuts?

[VA24541]

You are one ignorant asshole. Diane Carrol was not on Solid Gold you twit. Dionne warwick was the hostess a while, and if you had any brains at all you know they are two different people. In fact, I don't even know who is Diane Carrol. There is a actress who was also a good singer named Diahann Carroll, but a moron like you would never know the difference. Best thing you can do is STFU.

[johncorsino]

why wasnt the MAC on the show too????

[donnadw]

I don't think that's dorky at all and when you get older hopefully you will appreciate what a unique and cool experience she was able to have.

[vamnews]

Dionne Warwick was there with Glenn Campbell. Wasn't able to find Diane Carroll. Moron!

[keonisan]

that's one of the weirdest songs ever

[vamnews]

You're right. The lyrics do not follow a sensible order. Why they have the word Tusk in the song or the title is nonsensical.

The song does have a great beat, but this is hard to reproduce when in concert; how are you going to get the USC Condom band on stage?

[alieno66]

Mick Fleetwood, the best drummer of all time.

[misshair]

ok...seriously..they showed THIS on Solid Gold...?? weirrrddd...

I used to watch Solid Gold semi-regularly and do not remember this..

I was a big Mac fan, even back then..so I would have remembered this..

weird that they did 'this' on solid Gold..but cool, nonetheless!! :D

[ajgolfer1]

they used to play this when MTV had class.

[Bodie007]

Dionne and Glen! Great couple! By the time he get's to Phoenix, she'll be gone, trying to find San Jose.

[Mrsbogglewart]

Not the best Fleetwood Mac ever!

[Leetah36]

The song is great.

But even without liking the song, seeing a clip from a 1979 episode of Solid Gold with Dionne Warwick and a guy talking about "records" is amusement itself! Takes me waaaaaaaaaaaaay back!

[loonmaniac]

That bass line is insane.

[newenglander1]

u right

[misshair]

h-ll yea!!

John McVie rules!!!!--the un-sung hero of the band, if you will..

[Lex351]

I am not sure what was more amazing...USC Band on Solid Gold, or the fact that Glen Campbell and Dionne Warwick are still alive!

[SumoDave]

Stevie Nicks always did have that wild girl, witchy, bohemian, eccentric, sexy thing vibe going on. How many others could make baton twirling sexy?

[oniongizmo]

Luckily I saw Glen on the Solid gold show and we talked about golf for ten minutes between taping.

[ZapShazam]

Gotta love that bass, baby.

[rugbyman1]

check out the "cool wide collar"!!!

woooooooha! 70's clothes were really bad!!!

[BrassPie]

The only bad thing about the song/video is that it is so short. It would have been nice if it had been longer.

[amriirma]

agree! such great rythm!

I am not a great fan of stevie, but she swings the batton nicely. And this band, wow! It would have been completely perfect, when we also saw FM in action> so yes> at least twice as long....

[gogoochy]

are you kidding me? Stevie Nicks is a legend.

[mwr686]

Now that is the kind of information the COMMENTS section should have!! Real Insight!Thanks for stopping by!

[ladytoddfan]

I was in the USC band at the time. The TUSK album was a deviation from prior FM albums as I believe each member contributed a couple of their own songs to it.

The original recording of the marching band was in Dodger Stadium; John McVie didn't appear, which is why Mick Fleetwood carried the cardboard cutout of him around.

About thirty of the band members overdubbed the Dodger Stadium recording in a studio. I remember there had been a "Grease" party in the lot prior to our session.

Now that is the kind of information the COMMENTS section should have!! Real Insight!Thanks for stopping by!

[jamesmdyer]

Lord, this sure brings back the memories!!

I was 19, I loved it then, and I still do!!

[CenCalDevil]

Good lord. I remember when this song came out--first came out!

[mwr686]

Ya'll crack me up with your comments...

[SteveAndIdiAmin]

Dang, Glen! Lookit the size of that collar!

[wkpettyjohn]

I remember really liking this song when I was about 11 (in 1984) My mom had great taste in music and this album was one she really liked. The 70's had some fantastic music that wasn't Disco. I saw this song on a jukebox just the other day and I played it for my kids and they dug it too!

[DastardlyMatt]

You know, I grew up in the 70s and 80s and I love the music from back then. But I really don't understand why so many people complain about today's music. There's all kinds of good stuff out there.

[mccoobs]

Harry44 hit it on the nose!

todays bands, if their music doesn't make you want to put a bullet in your brain, then their lyrics do... now i know how my parents felt when i was blasting out RUSH! OH!

and Stevie is so hot I'd drink her bath water!

[GeminiCusp82]

Thank you for posting! I have never seen this before. And as for some of the comments..Fleetwood Mac didn't want the album Tusk to be anything like Rumours. I think they succeeded! Tusk is my favorite album by them.

[Harry44Callahan]

Great song...USC band really adds power to it! Those of us who can remember when this came out took cool music from bands like Fleetwood Mac for granted...now we really miss it considering the grey noise garbage music that permeates the radio today.

[Dagarvs]

i admit to feeling the same Harry44. compared to whats out there today, this is deep soul

o.o

[julieswahn]

Kids? See what we had to deal with back in our day? (Solid Gold) No MTV or youtube for us! Anyway, I don't know a girl alive at that time who didn't want to be Stevie Nicks, twirling that baton and marching so adorably.

[fmfanatic]

This is pretty cool -- I've never seen this before! Thanks for sharing! :-)

[falconsmb]

Trojan`s marching band you are the king`s

[daweller]

Pretentious. After the success of Rumours, FM became pretentious, and this bizarre song proves it.

[brianmann01]

As I remember this whole Tusk thing, it was not the big hit they are saying it is. Seems to me there was a lot of infighting in the band and the album was mixed by Mick or Lindsy without the other members hearing it before it was released.

[MizzSchoolRaw]

thanks for uploading!!!!

[blueskies66]

I don't know where you found this but it brings back some great memories. Thanks.

[claredontyoudare]

Thanks for posting this. It's been awhile since I've seen it.
