Fleetwood Mac Releasing New Album “Rumours Live”

Fleetwood Mac will release their new album, Rumours Live, on September 8.

The album includes a concert recorded using the Record Plant’s mobile recording truck on August 29, 1977 at the Forum in Los Angeles during the Rumours tour, according to Ultimate Classic Rock. At the time, Rumours was the No. 1 album in the U.S. The concert set consisted mostly of songs from the album, but also had some other ones mixed in like 1969’s “Oh Well.”

The Rumours Live album includes recordings that have not yet been released, aside from “Gold Dust Woman,” which was included as a bonus track on the 2021 deluxe edition of Live.

”The songs are familiar: ‘Dreams,’ ‘Go Your Own Way,’ ‘Say You Love Me,’ ‘Over My Head,’ and on and on,” Sam Graham wrote in the upcoming album’s liner notes, “But most of these live versions are more muscular, more ferocious, than the album recordings, driven by the powerhouse Fleetwood-John McVie rhythm section and Buckingham’s febrile guitar playing; and instead of a rote recital of the hits, the group stretches out in concert, as songs like ‘Rhiannon,’ ‘World Turning’ and ‘I’m So Afraid’ blossom into exuberant tours de force onstage.“
