"Fireflies" was Nicks' rumination on the tumultuous recording of the "Tusk" album and her observance that the band stayed intact nevertheless. The latter two were released as singles "Fireflies" reached the top 60 in the US, while "The Farmer's Daughter" reached the top 10 in Austria. Of particular note are three new songs - Christine McVie's "One More Night", Stevie Nicks' "Fireflies", and a well-harmonized backstage rendition of The Beach Boys' "The Farmer's Daughter". According to the liner notes, two songs were recorded at a Paris soundcheck and three at a performance at Santa Monica Civic Auditorium "for an audience of friends and road crew." Live consists of recordings taken primarily from the 1979-1980 Tusk Tour, together with a few from the earlier Rumours Tour of 1977 and a Buckingham Nicks Track "Don't Let Me Down Again" from the 1975 Fleetwood Mac Tour. The album was certified gold (500,000 copies sold) by the RIAA in November 1981. It was the first live album from the then-current line-up of the band, and the next would be The Dance from 1997.
Live is a double live album released by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac on 8 December 1980.
