Fleetwood Mac Shares 2nd Track From Live “Mirage Tour ’82”
by Best Classic Bands StaffLive recordings from Fleetwood Mac’s hit-making lineup during two sold-out shows at The Forum in Los Angeles in 1982 during the Mirage Tour will be featured in a new collection. Mirage Tour ’82, with several previously unreleased recordings, arrives September 20, 2024, via Rhino on 2-CDs or 3-LPs. On the same day, a special crystal-clear vinyl edition will be available exclusively at Amazon. All can be pre-order in the U.S. here and in the U.K. here.
This 22-track live collection comes from the October 21-22 shows, including favorites like “Dreams,” “Gypsy” and “Don’t Stop.” Listen to a pair of performances below.
In September 1982, Fleetwood Mac embarked on a 31-city U.S. tour in support of Mirage, the band’s fourth consecutive multi-platinum album and third #1 in America. Both shows at The Forum were recorded, and Mirage Tour ‘82 combines songs from both into a single concert experience.
From the July 30 announcement: Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, and Stevie Nicks were at the height of their collective power at these shows, delivering a hyper-charged setlist filled with hits new and old. Standouts include “Songbird,” “Oh Well,” “Love In Store,” “Go Your Own Way,” and a version of “Landslide” for the ages.
In the set’s liner notes, music journalist and songwriter Bill DeMain calls the collection “a riveting listen” and a reminder of a time when rock shows “were platforms to expand and reinvent songs for the stage, to let them breathe, to unleash different, wilder sides of a band.”
