@trojanbill1 YES! I shout this everytime the Spirit of Troy blasts this! The recorded version in '79 is good. However, Tusk never translated well on stage. This is no exception. The Dance version was great, in part because the SC band helped enhance it on stage. The post-Dance versions are, well - awful. Lindsey's whaling and screeching are beyond annoying, as are the moronic dancing between he and Stevie (who spent most of the song doing an awkward, robotic dance). I love FM, but not this mess.
Face it people Tusk as a live song sucks. Why doesn't any one have an album version of the song. I have looked at over 100 versions of tusk on here and all of them are live. Some are just video camera or cell phone recordings of a concert and those suck the most. This is a great song if you can get an album or cd version.
@redrek62 "This is a great song if you can get an album or cd version."
Yes, and you could always, y'know, buy one.
Or buy the track from the album.
Or do you only want it enough to whine about it, but not enough to pay 99¢ for it?
We're trying to convince the dinosaur record co's (& their beancounter accountants & shark lawyers) that they make more $ by leaving ripped tunage up than by taking it down.
Needs the USC Marching Band, especially the Chorus of UCLA SUCKS!!!!

@Britney13Fan That's from The Dance DVD - try searching for "fleetwood mac tusk the dance" or something and it'll probably show up.

Studio version was Billboard's #94 song of '80. Hit #8 in Billboard. God bless!

Don't worry too much about the video....the audio to this is fantastic. Best audio version of Tusk on You Tube I've heard.

Absolutely LOVE the sound of a marching band brass section! Still sends chills down my body.

Agree with redrek62. Nothing matches the pulse of the album version. Please, please someone upload it!
