Celebrating Fleetwood Mac's Mirage 40 years after its release
Fleetwood Mac's fourth studio album Mirage, topped the charts in June 1982. It marked a significant milestone for the band, becoming their third studio release to achieve the number one spot on the Billboard 200 chart after "Rumours" and their self-titled album. The album stayed at the top for five consecutive weeks in August and early September.
Featuring a diverse range of styles and moods, "Mirage" included several standout singles that contributed to its commercial success. Hits like the energetic "Hold Me," the haunting "Gypsy," and the sweet "Love in Store" helped the album resonate with a broad audience.
The new live album showcases performances from two sold-out shows at The Forum in Inglewood, California, on October 21 and 22, 1982. Comprising twenty-two tracks, the album includes six previously unreleased songs, offering a fresh experience even for long-time fans.
Among the highlights are three tracks that had not been recorded live before: Dreams, Don't Stop, and Sara. The remaining songs, recorded live during the second performance, feature beloved hits from various other Fleetwood Mac albums, capturing the band’s dynamic stage presence and musical prowess.
This release serves as a timeless tribute to the band's enduring influence and musical excellence. This release celebrates the band's storied past but also allows new listeners to experience the magic of Fleetwood Mac's live performances from an iconic era.
The Wild Heart is the second solo studio album by American singer and songwriter Stevie Nicks. Recording began in late 1982, shortly after the end of Fleetwood Mac's Mirage Tour.
