Fleetwood Mac

2CD: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada
3LP: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada

Recorded over two nights at The Forum just outside Los Angeles - the same venue where Rumours Live was taped - Mirage Tour '82 now presents a fuller picture of those shows over two CDs or three LPs (with an Amazon-exclusive clear vinyl variant also available). Singer/guitarist Lindsey Buckingham, singer Stevie Nicks, singer/keyboardist Christine McVie, bassist John McVie, and drummer Mick Fleetwood took attendees through a 22-song set that may have been light on material from their then-newest album ("Eyes of the World," "Gypsy," "Love in Store" and "Hold Me") but still infused the power of that latest album into renditions of songs from their previous three albums, both hits ("Rhiannon," "Go Your Own Way," "You Make Loving Fun," "Tusk") and deeper cuts ("Blue Letter," "Songbird," "Sisters of the Moon").  Six tracks make their debuts here: the Rumours hits and favorites "Don't Stop," "Dreams" and "Never Going Back Again"; the Stevie Nicks-fronted "Landslide" (from the self-titled album) and "Sara" (from Tusk); and "Oh Well," the sole standard from the earliest incarnations of the band with frontman Peter Green at the helm. Journalist/songwriter Bill DeMain contributes the set's liner notes.
