I love Mirage. I love how concise LB's songs are. I love the further exploration of the McVie/ Buckingham duet. The harmonies that those two sing on this album are amazing.
I love how they thought this was like Rumours when it was nothing close to Rumours. I love Straight Back, Gypsy and That's Alright. Christine's backing vocals throughout this whole album are tantamount.
Christine and Stevie knocked two hits out of the park on this one. Also, first real video shoot for them (Hold Me/Gypsy). Yes, they have Sara, but it was not a video shoot.
I love the looks of the women in this period. Stevie was just gorgeous and Christine's name and face were exploding on MTV. They constantly called her Christy McVie.
Mirage Tour was too short, but I love the way intensely played the tunes. And it was just raw and fantastic.
