Fleetwood Mac concert chronology

The Mirage Tour was a concert tour by British-American pop rock band Fleetwood Mac. The tour ran from September 1 to October 31, 1982. Unlike the 112-show Tusk Tour, the Mirage Tour was limited to just 29 cities in the United States.

History

[edit]

This would be the last tour with Lindsey Buckingham in the band until The Dance in 1997. Although Buckingham would perform on and co-produce the next album, Tango in the Night, he did not tour and decided to leave the band.[1]

Tragedy struck during the month of October when Nicks' best friend, Robin Anderson, died, leaving Nicks in a state of shock.

On October 18, the band played at a benefit concert organized by the City of Hope foundation. Nicks also played a solo set with her band and Don Henley appearing as a guest artist.

The October 15 and 20 shows were originally scheduled for early October, but had to be postponed because Nicks was ill, suffering from walking pneumonia.[2]

The October 21 and 22 shows at The Forum in Inglewood, CA, were recorded and released in 1984 in VHS (and later in DVD) under the title "Fleetwood Mac In Concert - Mirage Tour '82".[3] The audio portion of this video was released, with two edits for time, as a bonus disc of the deluxe edition of Mirage, released September 23, 2016. Two songs from the October 21 show and one from October 22 would appear on a Super Deluxe edition of Fleetwood Mac Live released in 2021. The entire set from these concerts was released in 2024, under the title Fleetwood Mac - Mirage Tour '82.[4]
