The Unleashed Tour was a concert tour by the rock band Fleetwood Mac. The tour ran from March 1, to December 20, 2009 in the United States, Canada, Germany, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand[1] and was the band's first tour in five years,[2] the group featured tracks within the setlist that spanned "all the Mac's many greatest hits" and pulled two rarely played live tracks "Storms" and "I Know I'm Not Wrong" that were taken from the Tusk album. They also resurrected the Peter Green track 'Oh Well' for the first time live since 1995. The tour ranked number 13 in the Worldwide Concert Tours data that is maintained by Pollstar and grossed a total of $84.9 million with a total attendance of 832,597.[3]

Background

This was the first tour that the Rumours-era lineup undertook without a new album to promote. The group were planning to rerelease Rumours as a CD/DVD combo with unreleased songs, demos and footage from that era. However, this was delayed until 2013's deluxe and super-deluxe editions.[4]

Christine McVie did not participate, having retired from the group in 1998.[5] Stevie Nicks mooted Sheryl Crow joining the band to add a female to the group dynamic in McVie's absence.[6]

Of the onstage atmosphere, Nicks remarked: "My cousin John has known Lindsey [Buckingham] and I since 1968. He told me, 'When I saw you and Lindsey play with Fleetwood Mac in 2009, there was nothing between you. It was as if you were thinking, What shall I get from room service tonight? Grilled cheese? Tomato soup?' Hammy wasn't the word for Lindsey and I in 2009 – it was totally fake."[7]
