Fleetwood Mac will release a live album from their 1982 tour to support the album Mirage later this year.
Mirage Tour ’82 features 22 songs collected from a pair of sold-out shows at the Los Angeles Forum from that year. As Rhino notes in a press release announcing the set, “In September 1982, Fleetwood Mac embarked on a 31-city U.S. tour in support of Mirage, the band’s fourth consecutive multiplatinum album and third No. 1 in America.
“Both shows at the Forum were recorded, and Mirage Tour ‘82 combines songs from both into a single concert experience.” You can hear a previously unreleased live version of “Don’t Stop” from the set below.
The set will be available on Sept. 20 in 3LP, 2CD and digital configurations.

The arrival of the set is some good news for fans who were recently told by Stevie Nicks that “there’s no chance of putting Fleetwood Mac back together” following Christine McVie‘s death in 2022.
Her last performance with the group was in 2019 when Fleetwood Mac wrapped a tour without Lindsey Buckingham, who was fired in 2018. The band instead toured with Crowded House guitarist Neil Finn former Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers member Mike Campbell.
What’s on Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Mirage Tour ’82’ Album?
Among the nearly two dozen tracks on Mirage Tour ’82 are six previously unreleased recordings from the Oct. 21 concert, including “Landslide,” “Don’t Stop” and “Never Going Back Again.”
