Fleetwood Mac concert chronology |
The Mirage Tour in Autumn 1982 was a concert tour by British-american pop rock band Fleetwood Mac. The tour only lasting a few months. Unlike the extensive Tusk tour, the Mirage Tour was confined to just the US in 29 cities.
This would be the last tour of Lindsey Buckingham with the band until The Dance in 1997. Although Lindsey would record and produce the next album, Tango in the Night, he did not tour with them and decided to leave the band.
Tragedy strikes during the month of October when Stevie's best friend, Robin Anderson, passes away leaving Stevie in a total state of shock. As a result, she gives some of her most electrifying and heartfelt performances to date.
On October 18, the band played at a benefit concert organized by the City of Hope foundation. Stevie also plays 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 have to be postponed because Stevie was ill, suffering from walking pneumonia.
The October 22 show at The Forum in Inglewood, was filmed and released in 1984 in VHS (and later in DVD) under the title "Fleetwood Mac In Concert - Mirage Tour '82".
