THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “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 No. 1 in America. Both shows at The Forum were recorded, and Mirage Tour ’82 combines songs from both into a single concert experience.
Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks were at the height of their collective power at these shows, delivering a hypercharged setlist filled with hits new and old. Standouts include Songbird, Oh Well, Love In Store, Go Your Own Way, and a version of Landside for the ages. This 22-track collection also features six unreleased recordings from the Oct. 21, show, including another version of Landslide, along with performances of Don’t Stop and Never Going Back Again.
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.’ ”
