I had row 2 tickets, we were seated on Lindsey's left. People were still filing in and I noticed afew people milling about near the front of the stage so decided to go have a chat with them. A guy and a girl, Ed and Ruby if I remember correctly, and they were really friendly and nice. Anyway we were chatting away and I mentioned I would love to be more on Stevie's side of the stage, and they told me the show was about to start and I should just stay standing with them and assured me security would not tell me to move, and once the show starts loads of people move forward anyway so I dashed to grab my bag and my friend who was sat with our stuff, and we took a prime spot infront of Mick Fleetwood's drums. A beefy security guy walked by, I thought he was going to tell me to sit down and I'm not sure but I thought I heard him say it to someone, but I'd had afew wines and can't be certain. Anyway he didn't say anything to us and wandered off. Hurrah!
The gig itself was absolutely fantastic! I think the best concert I've been to. It was fab!
Lindsey's guitar playing, seeing it up close is something else! That man's fingers move so goddam fast, he truly is incredible. I've always appreciated his talent but seeing him play live I think I've a new found respect for the man! At the end of the show someone handed him a little piece of paper which he put in his pocket. I guess it was some girls number. That amused me.
Stevie was on top form and her voice sounded great. As I mentioned it an earlier post I never cared much for her dancing in Gold Dust Woman before. However after seeing it live, it blew me away. I'll never laugh at it again!
She wore her shoes that she was wearing a while back during her (I think) In Your Dreams premiere in London. At the end of the show once the rest of the band had left the stage Stevie told the story of her search for these boots and then when she finally found them. Lastly she thanked the audience and all the fans for allowing her to still do what she loves doing. She said she loves being on stage and performing and the fact she can still do that is fantastic and she thanked us all for being a part of it because without us she (and they) wouldn't be able to do it. She then said that when we all get home that night that she wants us to write on a piece of paper "I am extraordinary". I thought that was very touching.
Mick and John were as solid as ever. Unfortunately I couldn't really see John from where I was standing but I got acouple of snaps of him. Mick Fleetwood ended with his 'The Mac is baaack' speech, and he echoed Stevie's words.
Overall it was bloody fantastic and I would go and see them again in a heartbeat! I'm still on a Mac live high!!
Will post afew photos soon..
