Fleetwood Mac are back in the limelight with a new release: their release Mirage tour '82a live album that captures the magic of their iconic shows at The Forum in Los Angeles.
Miragethe band's thirteenth studio album, was released on June 18, 1982, and produced several hit singles, including “Hold Me,” which reached No. 4 on the Billboard Pop Chart.
Mirage tour '82 features 22 tracks, including six previously unreleased recordings from the October 21, 1982 concert.
Some of the band's biggest hits like “Landslide”, “Dreams” and “Don't Stop” are among the newly available live tracks. A live version of “Don't Stop” was released for streaming prior to the album's release.
“In September 1982, Fleetwood Mac embarked on a 31-city US tour in support of Mirage, the band's fourth consecutive multi-platinum album and third No. 1 in America. Both concerts at The Forum were recorded, and Mirage tour '82 combines songs from both into a single concert experience,” reads a release statement for the album.
The collection, available on September 20th, will be released in 3xLP vinyl, 2xCD and digital formats.
The release follows last year's Rumors: Livewhich debuted at No. 4 on Billboard's Top Selling Albums chart dated September 23, 2023. This marked Fleetwood Mac's highest chart debut since a studio album Say you will opened at No. 2 in May 2003. Rumors: Live included recordings from the band's 29 August 1977 concert at The Forum during their Rumors tour.
Despite the legendary group's last release following the loss of Christine McVie in 2022, the prospect of a full band reunion is slim. Mick Fleetwood has described the idea as “unthinkable”, while Stevie Nicks has stated that there is “no reason” for the group to tour again.
Nicks, however, shows no signs of slowing down as she continues to rock stages worldwide as a solo artist. He currently has upcoming shows in Grand Rapids, Michigan and Hershey, Pennsylvania this September.
