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 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]
