That, and I think it was FM's most underrated album, and the last great album from the classic lineup where everyone was contributing proportionately *ahem*

I agree - while Tusk is my favourite album, in my opinion Stevie was in her vocal prime during the making of Mirage and the subsequent tour. The band was able to work together so cohesively on stage and it shows. Every individual contributed to almost every song in a way that I feel they didn't on the Tusk tour. Maybe its just because they had their performance more "down pat" after so many together.

I love Tango but I think Mirage is a really nice demonstration (a "last hurrah" if you will) of what the Rumours line up could do together as a cohesive band.
