Fleetwood Mac announce Rumours Live album

Editor Stephen Hill 22nd July 2023

Fleetwood Mac are set to officially  release their 1977 live performance of Rumours' in September.  

Rumours Live captures the energy and excitement of the band’s opening night at The Forum on 29 August 1977. 

It was one of three stops at the venue as the group rounded out a run of shows in support of the LP, released earlier that year.   

The record was recorded by engineer Ken Caillat on a mobile recording truck owned by the Recording Plant, where Fleetwood Mac recorded most of ‘Rumours’.  Alongside the album announcement, the band have released the live version of the Stevie Nicks-led Dreams.

The nearly 90-minute performance includes live versions of most of the songs from the just released Rumours and Fleetwood Mac, the group’s No. 1 album from 1975.  Apart from ‘Gold Dust Woman’ (which appeared on the 2020 deluxe collection Live), nothing from this show has ever been officially released before. 

Rumours Live will be available as a 2CD set or on a 2LP 180g vinyl gatefold edition (with th lacquers cut by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering). There’s a limited clear vinyl version of indie retail.  Rumours Live will be issued on 8 September 2023 via Rhino.
