Sounds very similar to other shows in the M tour, maybe FM weren't as coked out as usual?

All the Mirage shows that we've heard on tape (or that we saw in person) sound very similar. Arrangements were the same from night to night, the sound of the singing voices was essentially the same, &c.

I think that, had the tour lasted longer, the band's arrangements & more superficial aspects of style (& perhaps even the set list) would have gone through several transformations -- much the way they did on the Tusk & Rumours tours. (If someone played you an unidentified recording of a Tusk show in November 1979 & another unidentified show in June 1980, you could easily distinguish the two based on a number of differences. The same couldn't be said of the Mirage tour.)
