The radio edit replaces the line "only kill" with "break their will." The latter lyrics are used during live performances. The radio edit differs slightly from the album version.
On the other hand, it failed to chart in the UK. In New Zealand, the single proved to be far more successful, eventually reaching #31 on the New Zealand Singles Chart. By the time "Peacekeeper" exited the charts, it had tallied eleven consecutive weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. Seven weeks later, the song reached its peak position of #80. "Peacekeeper" entered the US charts at #93 on 29 March. Warner Bros selected the song as the album's first single.

Warner Bros felt the song had the potential to become a hit, describing the song as "walking a line between something quite modern and something quite familiar". However, Warner Bros told Buckingham to use all of his material for the upcoming Fleetwood Mac album instead. Like many of Buckingham's contributions on Say You Will, "Peacekeeper" was originally going to appear on Buckingham's solo album, Gift of Screws.

There is no bonus seven-inch because that is exclusive to the box set. The 2LP vinyl isn’t quite so exciting since it’s simply a remastered version of the original. The new standalone three-CD set is as the same as in the box, so two discs as per the original release – except remastered – and a bonus CD featuring over an hour of unreleased live material. The 14 bonus live tracks include seven songs from the Tusk tour (1979-80), four from the Rumours tour (1977) and three from the Mirage tour (1982). Having released the box set last month, Rhino have announced that they will reissue standalone 3CD and 2LP vinyl versions of the Fleetwood Mac Live reissue.Īs a reminder, this live double album was originally released in 1980 and features music mostly recorded during the world tour for 1979’s Tusk. The strong setlist includes massive hits such as ‘Dreams’, ‘Go Your Own Way’, ‘Rhiannon’, and ‘Don’t Stop’.
