The Behind the Mask Tour was a worldwide concert tour by the British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac. The tour began on March 23, 1990, in Brisbane, Australia, and ended on December 7, 1990, in Inglewood, California.

History

This would be the last tour for Rick Vito with the band; and for Christine McVie and Stevie Nicks for seven years. Nicks and Vito would leave the group in 1991, though Nicks appeared with the band again briefly in 1993 before resuming with them again in 1997. Meanwhile, McVie retired from touring in 1990, but resumed in 1997 before leaving the group permanently in 1998. McVie would later rejoin in 2014.

The November 2 show in Philadelphia was originally scheduled for July 20, but it was postponed because Christine McVie's father had died. Before the Boston show, the band showed up at Boston's Hard Rock Cafe, signing autographs and donated a guitar to their memorabilia collection. The band played 101 shows in 13 countries around the world.

On the December 6 and 7 concerts in Oakland and Inglewood, Lindsey Buckingham made a guest appearance to play "Landslide" with Nicks during the set, then made another appearance during the set closer "Go Your Own Way" and the first encore number, "Tear It Up", where he engaged in guitar duels with Rick Vito and Billy Burnette.

The Japanese leg of the tour was documented through a television special which was filmed primarily at the Tokyo concerts.

During the tour, a video for the single "Skies the Limit" was filmed. It was shot at the June 13 show in Morrison, Colorado.

The opening acts for the tour were Squeeze, Jethro Tull and Daryl Hall & John Oates.
