Love In Store Single
1 Attachment(s)
This was really interesting. I know MacFan and I followed it (in 1982/1983) and wanted it to go to at least # 10. I didn't hear this on the radio much. After Hold Me and Gypsy, the radio was tired w/ FM.

Where I lived you would have swore it was a top 10 song. Its one of my favorites. It was fantastic in the Mirage concert too. It was released during the explosion of MTV. I know they hated doing the Hold Me video and would never have done another video. However I think a video could have made it climb another 10 spots. Unheard of that any song would be in early 1983 and not have a video. It was still on the charts when the Mirage show debuted on HBO in February 1983.
Mick was right. Mirage was #1 and charting hits and huge videos. Once the Mirage tour ended at the end of October, 1982, the album fell. Just imagine if they had a normal or typical tour that went into January 1983 with a video for Love In Store. As Steve would say....it would have been a hit and Lindsey did not have to leave the band. |

"Love In Store" is sensational. The harmony vocals blend so beautifully - it should have charted in the Top 10. By this point, the band was done.
The "Mirage" album has never received the love and recognition it deserves. |
Here is a funny story about the song. I became a fan during the Mirage HBO days. I loved the live version of Love In Store. About a year later I was going through cassette tapes I made from the radio with my tape recorder (yes in those days we recorded songs from the radio on a tape recorder) and I found out that I recorded the song from the radio before I was a fan. I liked the song enough to hit record. I don't think I knew who it was when I recorded it though. I sort of unearthed Fleetwood Mac artifacts I had before I became a rabid fan.

Yeah, I'm old enough to remember those days. I can't find it, but I had a cassette with an interview with Mick and John from a local radio station. It was the Rumours tour and the band postponed their Charlotte show because Stevie had fallen asleep (passed out ;)) with her contacts in and damaged her eyes. Mick and John were already in town and wanted to let fans know that the show would be rescheduled. Later, I found out that it happened days earlier and Stevie was suppose to wear badges on her eyes, but decided to remove them for the show the night before (Greensboro, I think) and damaged her eyes more.
To satisfy fans, the same station played one of those King Biscuit radio concerts. which I recorded on the same tape. I played that show to death! It was the first time I heard Rhiannon live and I was HOOKED! The was start of my super fandom. Unfortunately, I was too young to figure out how to get tickets to the rescheduled show, but I would have loved to have been there. Quote:

Was the Think About Me video an extract from the Tusk documentary? |
