Go Your Own Way: Fleetwood Mac’s “In Concert” Gets Standalone Vinyl Release

Fleetwood Mac - In ConcertLast December, Fleetwood Mac expanded its seminal album Tusk to box set proportions.  Among the material premiering on the Tusk: Deluxe Edition was an all-new 2-CD concert album featuring 22 previously unreleased live recordings from the band’s 1979-1980 tour. On March 4, Fleetwood Mac: In Concert will arrive for the first time as a stand-alone vinyl release.  Pressed on 180-gram vinyl with Tusk-inspired artwork, its three LPs will be presented in a tri-fold jacket.

The music heard on In Concert was recorded at four stops (Wembley, Tucson, St. Louis, Omaha) during the band’s 111-show world tour promoting Tusk. The performances from St. Louis’ Checkerdome took place in November 1979 (just one month after the release of Tusk), while the eleven tracks from the band’s Wembley Arena gigs hail from June 20-27, 1980.  The Omaha and Tucson shows took place even later, in August 1980.  The 22 previously unreleased live cuts encompass songs from Tusk, Fleetwood Mac (“Rhiannon.” “Say You Love Me,” “Landslide,” “World Turning”) and Rumours (“Dreams,” “Don’t Stop,” “You Make Loving Fun,” “The Chain,” “Go Your Own Way”).

This new collection was designed as a companion to the 1980 album Live. Although a number of songs are duplicated from Live, including “Say You Love Me,” “Landslide” and “Go Your Own Way,” each performance on In Concert has been taken from a different show on the tour.  In addition, 10 songs (including “The Chain” and “World Turning”) are not heard on Live.

The 3-LP vinyl set Fleetwood Mac: In Concert arrives from Warner Bros. Records on March 4.  You can peruse the track listing below!

    1. That’s what I was hoping for as well. I guess they figure that releasing this on vinyl will attract a different customer, where releasing it on CD will just cannibalize sales of the deluxe box. Which, in my case, is true. The concert is all I want from the box.
