It's 11 p.m. in London. Reports? Christine DID come back for tonight, yes?

Yes! Back again for Don't Stop. Twitter and text reports slowly trickling in...

Yesterday's Gone.

Tonight's show wasn't as good as Wednesday's, but it was still breathtaking.

It crushed me that Christine did not return for the final bow, but I guess I realize that no matter what the circumstances and what the year 1997 or 2013, I'll never be prepared to see her for the last time and the discovery that I probably have will always be a surprising and unwelcome one.

Stevie dedicated Landslide to Christine who was a mentor, best friend and big sister to her. Christine played so many roles in her life and inspired and taught her. She doesn't think Christine knows how much she's done for her and wants the song to go out to her on this third night in London.

Oh, World Turning was interminable. The seconds tick tocked away with inexorable slowness. Finally they brought out that keyboard and they feigned wonderment again, but not as pronounced as before. Mick and said he beheld black and white keys in a familiar place, but without further ado he introduced a precious lady who had meant so much to the band's history. England's own, their songbird, Christine McVie.

She came out smiling. To the front briefly, holding hands with Stevie, but hugs soon equally and liberally bestowed. She took her place. I have to say I really didn't pay much attention to how Don't Stop sounded. I looked at Christine. I looked at Lindsey on his side, singing into her face, smiling. Stevie's tambo, shaking merrily.

When it was over, John collected Christine, more hugs, a group bow. Then it was over.

After Say Goodbye, when John came out, I thought Christine would be with him like before, but it was not to be. They didn't mention her again, but they gave us memories fans won't ever forget.

I'll be posting pictures and a review of the rest of the show in the next hour.

Michele

Christine seemed to be dressed in the same clothes from Wednesday, because as a member of the FM army, that's the rule. Whether veteran or active soldier, you don't change your stage clothes during the tour.



Christine blew kisses back across the stage, because she knows what's what. I am not standing for it!

Awesome pics, Michele. Thanks for sharing.

I remain jealous of Stevie's hair.

Yes, I watched her running her fingers through it before GDW started. She likes it to fall across her face at the end of that song and it creates a really nice effect, the careless curls cascading.

Love your pictures from the center vantage point, HejiraNYC.

Some really great shots of Christine, Michele and Ed (also nice talking to you before the show, Ed). I ended up on Lindsey's side, so I had a hard time getting good shots of the Stevie and Chris, but here you go:

Erin,

You got some really clear, crisp pictures of Christine's face when she was standing in the bow line. Thanks for sharing.

Michele
