One of the few times that the rock world embraced the college marching band era. Also predates MTV by a year or two.

2. Very Good!

22 months! That album came out in October 1979.
MTV went on the air 8/1/81. Eight-one-eight-one. I'm guessing they did it on purpose.
The reason I remember it is that I knew a guitar player that was on a cable system that was ready to launch.
Our cable system was still expanding & we weren't getting the new channels until at least Thanksgiving's.
A few others were in the same boat, so he held an MTV launch party. Started at 10pm.
We stayed until around 5 in the morning.
The next day was, gladly, Sunday.
BTW: Tusk is about my 5th favorite Fleetwood Mac song.
Number 2 is "The Chain"
This is #1. I love the guitar part & the sampled "oohs" "uhs", & " ahs" are so cool!

3. Cool. I had no idea "Tusk" was recorded with a real band. I've always loved the song.

Now, if I only knew what the song was about.

6. I always thought this song was about

infighting within the band. But yea who knows. The drum major at the end has this.

7. As good a theory as any.

I wonder if there is any college marching band that doesn't play Tusk in the stands - back when we had football games with bands, fans, and such. The percussion bit is just too cool.

8. I sent this to my USC friends

Since most of us were there in 1979. We like the song but cringe at the 70s fashion! Which we also wore!

10. Oh, thanks! I'd never seen this. nt
