In the print edition, three more photos were run. They looked recent.

Why didn't radio simulcast one of the concerts this year? All the Fleetwood Mac tours get simulcast at some point or other, but how come nothing for this tour? I'm unhappy about that.

Why? The band SUCKS these days, as you said before. Or have you catched the show after all and didn't they suck enough to care less about some radiocoverage of the liveshow?

I hadn't noticed but now that you mention it....they haven't.
Usually KLOS, right?

Were you there last night? I looked all over for you. Stalked the entrances.

Hey, since Cory obviously didn't want the job any longer, we should both sign up to join the band's crew as official bloggers. It would take some personal sacrifice, but I'm game

As she was driving to the venue, Stevie realized that it hasn't changed at all in these many years. "Even the dressing rooms are the same!" She laughs.

She talks about their little house in San Jose, then, as she concludes the story saying that the song harks back "to the gypsies that Lindsey and I were," it, of course, dovetails nicely with Lindsey's addition to the Try for the Sun lyrics. I wonder if Stevie has given a listen to that at all.

Oh sure Michele. Here is a link to his LinkedIn page thingie. There was another pic that was better but I have no clue where to find it.

Someone showed me it and I really didn't pay attention.

Yeah!

More cool photos--thanks!! And I always love reading your reviews

Ooh, I see what you mean about the resemblance. Side by side, with Lindsey from 1975 or so . . . Wow! Thanks.

San Diego was even More Insane that Anaheim.

I had an absolutely magical time.

Michele thanks again for the pixs.

I was able to get a prime spot right in front of Lindsey and the high light of my night was when Lindsey and I gripped fingers after Go Your Own Way. Or, I think it was after Go Your Own Way. It was so intense I think I went into shock. He actually let me pull him toward the end of the stage. The people in back of me were going nuts and were grabing onto his arms so I let go because I thought he might end up getting yanked off the stage.

Lindsey is the magic man mama! I'm still on cloud nine despite the fact that I blew some connector on my car's cooling system and had to spend the night at the Holiday Inn in San Diego. It took me all day to get it fixed but I'd do it again in a heart beat. Luckily the radiator didn't over heat until I pulled into the Arena's parking lot yesterday afternoon. I dread to think what might have happened if it had happened on my drive (2 hrs) home. Sort of reminded me of David's car story. Speaking of David, where has he been.

The Mac is Back.

Carol Lynn,

Sorry about your car, but if it had to happen, at least the timing was good. That time of night, it would have been awful to stop on your ride home. And the car knew better than to stop on the way to the show.

I'd like to have a nice radio broadcast of the song "Go Insane."

I wanted to go. But then I saw a photograph of Stevie in that ugly footwear again, & that was that. I cannot look at that footwear for 2 hrs.

But if I had known people were looking around for me, I'd have gone & just hung out in the parking lot.

But I was wearing Skechers with big rubber heels. Ashamed of my footwear, I would have been afraid to approach you.

To tell you the truth, I hardly ever saw Stevie's shoes. Between the height of the stage and the heads in front of me, I only see those people from the shin up.

Nice review Michelle-

I have a few things to add. I was there in row 4 center. Had perfect view of both Stevie and Lindsey, and they of me and Kim!

We probably coulda moved up closer to the stage but chose to stay where we were. I love that eye contact too much!

I'm pretty sure I saw Lee Lee before the show sitting with the sound/light guys with head phones on. I saw her years ago when I by chance met Lindsey at the MGM in Vegas. She looked about 5-6 older now than then, so it had to be her. Cute little kid.
One thing that wasn't mentioned was that Stevie's voice was cracking at the beginning of Silver Springs. I don't want to make a big deal of it or anything, but it worried me at first. Just thought I'd mention it.

We had such a great time! I wish it wasn't over.
