I went to last night's show and it rocked HARD. I wasn't sitting close though but it was nice getting a different perspective. I wanted to see what people off the floor experienced. I have to say that I am utterly speechless with the audience. People stood for the Rumours songs and sat during the new songs. I was furious to say the least because it is not like all of the new songs are slow, they are pretty danceable, WTWCT, SYW, Peacekeeper. There was a few guys behind me and a couple next to me that were standing. I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED NEXT....This security guard came up to these guys and told them to sit down. The guys were like no, I paid a lot of $$$ for these seats to have to sit down and the security guy got all high and mighty and said well if you dont sit I'll get the cops in here. OMG!!!! I cannot believe what kind of environment that was. The guard only came when the new songs were playing and when everyone stood (during the old songs) there wasn't a guard in sight. It happened another time to this girl to the right of me, she was a big Stevie fan and it was her 30th birthday, she was having a great time and that same guard came to her and told her to sit also or he would call the cops. She got upset that he said that to her that she cried on her husband's shoulder.
Ironically, I was standing at first for every song and didn't get harassed but after that guard made the girl cry I decided to go with the flow and sit when everyone else was. However, I was dancing in my seat for every second. When we first got to our seats before the show started my friend and I were standing, just bsing, and this dude behind us asked my friend if he was going to sit down. My friend said, "NOW????" and the guy said "sometime". My friend looked at him and said, "yeah, but probably not during the show" Geez I got seated with the extremely casual fans I guess. I am glad that I wasn't the ONLY person who appeared to really enjoy the music. On a good note: from GDW on, everyone around us stood. THANK GOD!!!!
On to a few show details: Stevie wore her PLATFORM BOOTS for most of the show!! I was soo happy to see that.
She dedicated Landslide to us. Lindsey was great as usual. This was my 3rd and last show this tour unless I suddenly come into some more $$$. Nothing out of the ordinary really happened but everyone seemed really on.
After the show on Thursday we saw the band getting into their limos and so I wanted to see them again and possibly get a picture of each band member this time. So my friend and I walked to the north west area and waited with a couple dozen other fans. The police officers wouldn't let us near the ledge last night and made us stand by the fence. A lady next to me was just as dedicated to see and possibly meet the band that her and I walked to the other side in hopes to see them all getting into their limos. The lady had a vinyl of Buckingham Nicks. That was cool to see. The same police officer made us go back near the fence. At that time, Sharon and Brett among others were getting into this tour van and waved at us. The van was right on the other side of the fence. Well anyway, to make an annoying story short, the cops made us leave, said that we have to leave because the band was gone. I know that wasn't true but more of the officers friends came over and started giving people a hard time so everyone left. It was sad. We waited for about a half and hour for notthing. However, it was cool to see Sharon and Brett up close.
