LA Forum Show April 14, 2015

Last night's show was another great one. I swear, I don't know where these people get their energy.
I had front row along with 5 other friends and we had the best time. We are all big Stevie fans so we spent our night in between Stevie and Christine. Security seemed to let more people up this time around because it was a little more crowded. In fact, I told the girl behind me to please back up a little if she could as I felt I was about to be violated with her pushing up against me.

I have some decent photos I took with my cell phone. You can see some of them on my Instagram page (@jkmaletic). More importantly, I got video of a few songs with my trusty Flipcam I brought. I am currently uploading those to Youtube and will post links on this thread.
One of the friends I was with is close to Stevie, so Stevie pointed at her at times during the show. During Gypsy, Stevie slowly pointed at all of us (which I have on video that I can't wait to show you guys!). It was major cool.

Christine said something to me during Tusk that I couldn't make out because of the light behind her, but my friend told me she was just singing "Don't say that you love me" at me. She has this on video which I have yet to see. My friends mad a really cute poster that said "McVie/Nicks 4 President 2016" which they laid on the stage. Chris and Stevie both kept looking at it trying to read it, smiling. Ultimately, my friend brought it backstage after the show. I can't wait to hear about what Stevie thought of it.
During ISA, Lindsey made his way over to our side and played above us. He definitely responds to the cheering fans right underneath him. His eyes were practically closed but I know he saw me because he inched closer and smiled after I said, "Yeah Lindsey!" while he was playing. His foot was right in front of me so I touched his boot.

I also got to strum his guitar, if doing so on the top part of the neck-thingy counts. HA.

All in all a very fun night and I'm glad I went.

Videos to come..
Oh - no Seven Wonders but Songbird was back again.

Jamie-It sounds like you had a great experience and they didn't hassle you for WC verification. That is incredible.

Glad that you weren't violated

.

Don't say that you love me? Christine is so into it when she's not singing. I liked when she returns to the stage for the end of World Turning, she stops in front of Brett. Brett is activating the recorded Lindsey voice and Christine waves her hands at him as if she is a conductor, for a moment, until it is time to her to walk back to her place.

All night long, she keeps bouncing around and singing constantly, even when the spotlight is not on her.

Jamie, thanks very much for sharing these great videos! I was also at the show that night and these are great memories of a fantastic concert.

I am a bit late getting to post about my experience at the show on April 14th. It was my first time sitting on the floor for an FM show and I had a great time. I was in Row 2 of Section A, so was closest to Christine, which was a new vantage point for me. One thing I never noticed before was how Stevie and Christine join hands when the lights are still down as The Chain is starting. Total girl power!!

The band seemed to be in such great spirits and really happy to be in each others company. I think it was one of the most satisfying live FM shows I have seen and left me feeling optimistic that there will be future concert opportunities.

I also ended up being in a really fun part of the audience, with everyone letting others around them stand, dance or sit down as they pleased. It was just a really good vibe all around.

I brought my Canon camera this time and got some decent close up shots. They ended up being mostly of Stevie since I could not seem to get good clear shots of Lindsey. Also got some good ones of Christine and John. There was one moment during the band introductions when Stevie made a kissing expression as Mick introduced Christine. I got a picture of it and its one of my favorites. I also got one of Stevie at the end of Silver Springs with her eyes closed and her hands outstretched. She has such a peaceful expression on her face which made a nice end to the evening (and the tour leg) for me. Another great FM memory that will stay with me always...

Here is the Flikr link to my pictures from that night. Hope you enjoy them:

I did enjoy your pics and your review and was most impressed with the very last picture because you managed to capture that moment that Stevie entered a time machine into the past.

I like your photo of Christine with the accordion. The red trim of the instrument is enhanced by the overhead lighting.

That is a sweet moment when Christine and Stevie touch hands across the piano. It reminds me -- of course -- of when Lindsey came out during the Behind the Mask tour and Stevie went over to the piano and joined hands with Christine during Landslide, bringing Christine into that reunion. I loved it.
