David,

Great report. I appreciated that you pointed out Detroit as the best show yet, because I was wondering how they compared in the eyes of someone who's seen so many. When you talked about walking a mile in the rain, I thought you were going to end up with your death of cold.

I also think it's great that you check out the local sights and famous restaurants while you're on the road. That is something I always plan to do but don't follow through on enough. That makes the trips more than just an odyssey with the band.

I love the way you ended with "to be continued."

Keep on truckin'.

Michele

Hi David- glad you're home safe and sound...what an amazing time you had. I can't imagine taking a trip like that; I know everyone has said the same thing but I really was tired reading! xo

This is amazing!!! How did you get front row twice? Luck???

Would you mind kind of sharing a ball park figure of how much this cost? This kind of trip sounds amazing!!!

I hope I was able to paint a small picture of what the last 3 weeks of my life has been like.

I'll leave you all with a couple things:

The road warriors creed: ILL SLEEP WHEN IM DEAD

and finally, this story to be continued May 3 in Tulsa............

David, I think Fleetwood Mac either needs to adopt you or give you a job on the tour after this.

Welcome back home David! Pop over at Mick's and give a quick review (cut and paste!) I can't wait for the pics!

Hey, I'm going to the show in Arizona too, flying 2000 miles all the way from Minnesota. Glad to see 'Phoenix' and I are not the only Ledgies going.

and DavidMN, it's awesome you can follow the band around like that. I wish I had the chance! Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

David,

An amazing account of your trip to see Fleetwood Mac

What a cool thing to do!!!! Wish I was younger and more energetic to do that kind of travelling. I think its great that you were able to meet some of the band members, along with Lindsey and Mick. Too bad hotel security was a pain though and made you leave. Enjoy the second part of your FM journey this year. I'm so glad you had a great time even though you had no sleep

The conflict with the screaming girls fighting at the concert with each other was pretty funny

Thanks for sharing all the fun things that you got to do while travelling

3 things:

1. Awesome man, glad to hear about your adventures, I think it's fair to say your dedication is an inspiration to us all!
2. Where you sitting at the BOK Center, Tulsa? That's the concert I'm going to- I have nice seats on the upper level, right in front of the stage.
3. This thread earns bonus points for lesbian discussion. Just a thought, not a comment about the trip.

I think the band should give you a job as part of the crew David!
