We’re talking Money for Nothing, Walk of Life, moody war ballads, and that smooth, clean production that still hits decades later.

But beneath its polished surface lies a complex story of band dynamics, creative tension, and the ever-evolving magic of Fleetwood Mac. Join us as we dive into the making of Mirage, its standout tracks, and its place in the band’s legendary discography.
