The Mirage Tour was a concert tour by British-American 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 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 left the band shortly after its completion. By the end of the Mirage Tour, Buckingham was "disillusioned with some of the collective priorities of the band."
In September, Fleetwood Mac performed at the US Festival in California, which earned the band $800,000 in one night. The October 21 and 22 shows at The Forum were released in 1984 in VHS (and later in DVD) under the title "Fleetwood Mac In Concert - Mirage Tour '82". 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.
