Here's a review of the Memphis Mirage performance that was posted online on the net.music newsgroup about a week after the show, on October 22, 1982-

For anyone interested in seeing Fleetwood Mac before the group disbands
forever I might suggest that you catch the Mirage tour. After attending
the recent concert in Memphis I got the distinct impression that the
band was having serious conflicts. Most noticable of these conflicts
was as you might have guessed between Stevie Nicks and Lindsey
Buckingham. Stevie Nicks spent more time off stage than she did on
and was not to be seen if she did not have a part in the song being
done. However, overlooking the bands attitude and concentrating on the
music the concert was great! Joining Fleetwood Mac was Glen Fry(sp?)
formerly of the Eagles who turned out a splendid performance. Between
the two bands I don't think you'll find any more talent on one stage
in one night(no flames please!) and would recommend those considering
seeing either of these groups to do so. Keep in mind that the Fleetwood
Mac concert might appear to be a 'business meeting on stage' but
concentrate on the music... it might be the last chance.
