Atlantic City - FM was on fire!
All I can say is WOW, THEY WERE ON FIRE! They sound tighter and rocked the night away and were on FIRE!
High notes on Dreams, Rhiannon, and OMG, loved GDW, even better than in March at the Washington, DC show. The GDW wail was AWESOME and she held the note really long. The end of the song Stevie is singing lower and it really works. Landslide wad dedicated to a guy in Pennsylvania and Stevie said he knows why she is dedicating the song to him. Lindsey towards the end of the show screamed...."THEY LOVE YOU STEVIE!" Silver Springs was dropped agan and don't know why. Can't be because of Stevie not feeling well or whatever because Stevie was really energetic and full of smiles and really rocked it tonight. Could not tell what boots she was wearing but did see the leather boots I think, not sure if they were leggings over the frankenboks or if she wore normal boots, could not tell... but they looked like leather boots. She was moving around a lot and smiling and enjoying herself. Oh, and instead of Stevie going over to Lindsey's mic at the end of Sara, Lindsey came over to Stevie a little and then Stevie walked over to LB and they did there little hug, which I know is staged,but still cute...no sweaty rub that I could tell, just a genuine looking hug, staged or not, again, very cute. At the end of the intros, Mick grabbed his stage balls and was pointing at John and John made little scissor movements to kind of say... cutting the strings on his balls, not sure if that was what really was going on, but that is what I took away from that. Stevie did give her little Gypsy story, which the crowd enjoyed. Stevie also said something as an intro to Storms something about dreaming or dreamy not sure, the guy next to me was talking to me and did not really here what Stevie was talking about. I waited today until 4 pm to get tickets and got section 2 Floor, row 12. which was further back than I was hoping for, but was a straight line of site to Stevie's mic. I got my camera into the venue but could not take any photos or videos because I was the last row right before the soundboard staging area and there were event/security guys standing right behind me, so it would be really obvious what I was doing and did not want to risk getting caught or thrown out. In summary... FM really rocked Atlantic City tonight and they were on FIRE! Everyone seemed to really kick it up a couple of notches. Stevie seemed energetic and smiling...no really bored looking moments that I can speak of. Since I was not able to take video/photos, it actually was kind of nice because even though I went by myself, no one showed up in the seat to my left or right, so had some room to really rock out and dance. And since I was in the last row in the section and the sound guys behind me, did not have to worry about standing in front of people that might want to sit. So, all in all, had a wonderful BLAST and am so glad I was able to experience another magical night with our beloved band. Again, I was reminded why I love this band so much. They are timeless and there were girls in front of me in their 20's rocking out as well. Thank you Fleetwood Mac for such a wonderful and magical night of music! I was in awe again about being in the same room with such legends.

I don't think I've ever written in here before, so hello!
Anyway, I went to the AC show tonight, and had a BALL. I was right against the stage between Stevie and Lindsey (closer to Lindsey, though), and didn't stop dancing the entire time. I was up front at the MSG show a few days ago too, but for some reason, tonight was on a whole other level! I wish I could afford to travel and see more shows, I'm sad that my Mac week is over. I do have about 50 pictures, though, so I'll be reliving it that way! |

Thanks for the reviews.. Wow no silver springs again... I wonder if it's a time constraint in certain venues... and they don't want to pay the fee to run over.

Great show last night -Stevie had alot of energy last night - got my seat
off ticketmaster around 3 pm - sec. 2 6th row - security was non existant last night - only once did anyone ever check my ticket and that was coming back and the end of Stand Back. What was also amazing is that i got to sit thru the whole show up until GYOW - first show i have ever been to where the front section sat down for almost the entire show and i had empty seats on both sides of me - the couple that was to my left that had also gotten tickets the day of the show moved up to the front of the stage even before the show started - anyone could have gotten up there - I wondor what the people who scored front row seats felt when they were already five people deep before the first song. Still a great show even after seeing them in DC and Phila this tour - Still can't understand why they can't change up the setlist - in this case even dropping one - go to a springsteen show - never the same show and for the last 2 tours takes sign requests from the audience - even playing covers they have never played before. And to cap off a great night finding my wife after the show in the trump at the hold-em tables cashing in up $300 |

I mean, I'm sure you're right as to why SS was not performed this time, but you know a curfew isn't beyond reason, even for raucous Atlantic City. Michele |

Oh, and loved the way Stevie is extending "Draaaaaagon" during GDW. During GDW, Stevie really did have the whole audience eating out of her hand and on the edge of their seats.
I am disappointed I was not able to get audio or video but hope some will pop up somewhere. Again, have to say that last night, was AWESOME! I wonder if anyone that got up front was able to take any decent pics or video,would love to see some if possible.

Regarding John and Mick's scissors, I've seen John cut Mick and then Mick cut John back and then John grabs his groin in pain in response. They have their whole little pantomine going on. Thanks for the great review. Michele |

Silver Springs was cut because Stevie isn't well. Supposedly she's having problems with her feet and back.

Hi all! I was at AC last night as well, and was disappointed by no Silver Springs, like the rest of you. I was wondering, given the presence of the so-called "frankenboks", if Stevie wasn't having some sort of physical trouble. Though she sounded fantastic, even better than when I saw them at the Garden in March, she was not as animated. But I also wonder if it might not have to do with Lindsey being injured as well. Did anyone else notice that he would occasionally shake his hand as if trying to getsome relief from pain? This was most noticible just before Big Love. I thought I heard someone near me in the crowd say he had injured his hand earlier in the tour. It didn't seem to effect his playing, but some of the songs did run a little longer with some extra vamping and pregnant pauses. If I'm not mistaken, the whole show actually ran about 15 minutes longer last night, even without Silver Springs, that it normally does. Just an observation from where I sat in sec. 102.

There will be audio popping up.
I thought Stevie was amazing tonight, really on, so it surprises me to hear SS was cut for that reason. It did seem like other songs were longer than usual -- guess the audio will prove that one way or the other -- elongated drum solo, extra intro for Never Going Back Again. I thought they didn't play it because there was a mass exodus after Don't Stop, including about a third of the crowd at the front. Had a lot of fun at the show with my new friend Jenna and my new fiance Mark. If you leave off the part about the guy behind her spilling wine on her Gold Dust Woman shirt, it couldn't have been much more fun!
