Mirage Tour '82

Mirage Tour '82 is a live album by English-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released on 20 September 2024 by Rhino Entertainment.

Background and release

On 21 and 22 October 1982, Fleetwood Mac played the Forum in Inglewood, California as a part of the Mirage Tour. Mirage Tour '82 features 22 performances from both shows, spanning two discs. It features liner notes about the performances and the Mirage Tour written by Bill DeMain. Six of the album's 22 tracks were previously unreleased.

Critical reception

In an AllMusic review, critic Fred Thomas wrote it "represents the unabridged set list the band played on most nights of the tour". PopMatters critic John Bergstrom thought that the band sounded "more gritty and less disciplined than their studio counterparts", which resulted in "visceral power to the more rocking numbers", citing their renditions of "Oh Well" and ""Second Hand News" as examples.
