Fleetwood Mac Live Performance of Not That Funny from the 1982 Mirage Tour

Venue: Mirage tour Location: Los Angeles, CA, United States Date: November 30, 1981

Fleetwood Mac was riding high on their success during the early 1980s, as they were in the thick of their Mirage tour when they performed "Not That Funny" live in Los Angeles on November 30, 1981. Just a year prior, they had released their iconic album *Tusk*, which was a bold departure from their previous sound. Instead of replicating the megahit formula of *Rumours*, *Tusk* embraced more experimental arrangements—think layered instrumentation and a mix of lyrical introspection that added depth. This concert, a stop on the *Mirage* tour, highlighted the band's ability to captivate live audiences with their dynamic performances. Interestingly, Lindsey Buckingham’s unique style and vocal delivery took center stage during this era, showcasing a blend of rock and art-pop influences that would continue to set Fleetwood Mac apart. It’s this daring spirit that kept fans enchanted, proving that they were more than just a product of their past hits.
