But, anyways, Lindsey knows me from years back. He went out of his way to notice & spot me in Portland on the UTS tour (with a rather awkward & deliberate point, Mirage video style), and found me again on the GOS tour. After one song, he motioned to me (6th row on the aisle.. venue was practically empty), referring to the front section (empty) and looking confused. I threw my hands up. During one of the later songs (I'm So Afraid? World Turning? I don't know, it all blends together, honestly), I was practically falling asleep in my chair. Lindsey came over to my side of the stage, yelled (away from the microphone, but still audible in the small venue), which caught my attention- turns out he was looking at me, seemingly annoyed that I was bored. I shrugged and pointed to my wrist.

I guess Lindsey & I aren't friends anymore.

I went because I've seen one show on every UK tour since 1973 so I didn't want to "Break the Chain" and also it might be the last time (mind you I thought that for the SYW tour so what do I know)

They were pretty good I have to say but it did strike me as being the Lindsey Buckingham show. Stevie wasn't that animated but I think she's not too good these days with shows on consecutive nights (I went to Wembley on the 31st Oct)

I saw the Mac three times on the Unleashed tour -- my first times ever seeing the band perform.

I went to the first show of the tour -- Pitts PA -- All-Access 14th row aisle seat on Lindsey's side.

Then I went to both MSG shows: 1) All-Access 14th row aisle seat on Lindsey's side. 2) 2nd row, so stood right up at the stage, Lindsey's side -- Normal ticket (who knew?)

Favorite show: The first MSG was a work a work of art; the second MSG was a party.

Default Twice!

After 19 years The Mac was back in the low countries. I simply don't want to speak about the debacle of the Time-line up in 1994 :-)

Alas, it was 5 years after I saw them last in Germany during the SYW-tour and i saw Mac in Antwerp...glued to the stage on the very very very first row at the feet of mr. Buckingham (could touch his pedals I wanted to) and saw them in Rotterdam (the day after) from 5th row (all standing) or something.

I were two magical nights and I wish all the Aussies and Kiwis the time of your life at the shows!

Yeah, the "Time"-tour visited Flanders too. I think it was in De Hallen @ Kortrijk, which shows you how small they were back then. I don't even know if that place is still used for concerts.

I saw them opening night in Pittsburgh, Rochester NY, Toronto, and Cleveland. I would've gone to more but I kinda ran out of money.

And I've seen Lindsey solo....a lot. Still not tired of him! If I can drive there/find a cheap flight, find a decently priced hotel, and get a ticket; I'd be there

Wish I could go to NZ!!!!

Of course!!! I wouldn't ever miss them EVER! I saw our Houston, TX show May 2nd, and had the best time ever! I went with a good friend of mine, and met up with several others! Nothing like FM fans!

Yes, saw them in New Orleans. Didn't really know them before; fell in love with them that night.
