Yes, I have to divide this up into sections. I am so tired! Here is what I have so far:
Ok I guess when I found out that we were being served Wheat Thins on the plane from Providence to Chicago I knew that it was
going to be a great trip.
I arrived Friday night and just keep to myself and waited until the next day to meet Alex at the airport. saturday comes and
I go to meet Alex and we head for the car rental place which was quite funny. Alex helped me picked out a silver car which
was nice. He picked it because it had a CD player.
We head out for out trip to Madison. We were tipped off as to where the band was staying We decide to head to our hotel and
then head to their hotel ASAP!We get to Madison and head to the hotel and Alex and I sit in the restaurant and look at a
menu. Alex takes a walk and then kind of calls me but I am too busy looking at the menu. I was not feeling very well the
entire trip and that was not good. I look up and see John Mc Vie walking in the lobby with a few other people. I stare at the
menu again while hoping that I see Lindsey but no sign of him.
I am very stressed out on Saturday about many things! However today was my birthday and I should be happy but I wasn't. I had bought the Platinum package as a b-day present to myself. I had to be at the venue at 5PM.
That did not give me much time to
get ready. Poor Alex had to leave early with me even though he did not have a platinum package. Just one more thing to add to
my stress!
Ok I get to the venue at 4:59 and call the tour guide to say that I am on my way. We wait outside and Mick Fleetwood's limo
pulls up. He steps out and says hello to all of us shacking hands. That was nice of him.
OK they show us backstage which not too exciting but I did find out that they film every show.
Just what they do with them
is a mystery however.
We are lead on to the stage which was the best part! Taku and Brett were already there warming up!
I went over to Lindsey's mic and look at his foot pedals. I know I need help. I looked out at the seats just to see what he
sees up there. Of course he is taller then me so he can see more. LOL We had our photos taken in front of Mick's drum set but
I did not care I wanted to take a photo of LB's set up. We were not allowed to take photos.
We are now ecsorted to the other end of the floor. Mick and Lindsey are now on stage! However all I see are dots casue I
can't see far too well. Then about 5 minutes later Stevie comes up on stage with curlers on top of her head! We are now told
we have to leave. Bummer! We are now brought outside where we get our already signed tour books. No big deal.
I head up to the car to meet Alex, Jan and Christie. We chat for a while and they find out I have a copy of the set list that
was given to us. Well it speads all over the net like wild fire. So boys and girls it was me who was responsible for the set
list info on Saturday.
I wait outside while takling to a few nice fans. I am SO nervous about so many things that I am pacing back and forth.
Finally the doors open up and I get in with my digital camera! Yea one hurdle down! I head to my front row seat which is way
off to the side. I start to claim my spot in front of Mr. Buckingham! It was nice I had the stage as a shelf to put my purse
and camera. Nobody told us to sit which was great the spot in front of Lindsey was mine! I did not move at all from there!
Yes another hurdle down! I felt better! A bunch of fans from different boards stopped to say 'hi' and to wish me a happy
birthday! That was so nice of them! I felt so special! That made my night and I was feeling better already!
The time seemed to go by fast and then the lights went down! My heart was pounding with excitement! It was so long since I
had seen them. I was roaring as the Mac took stage.
As they played the Chain I was fooling around with my new digital camera. I had no idea really how to work it. I was trying
hard to remember the directions. It sounded the same as it did last year.
Next was Dreams even though this was the song that made me fall in love with Stevie I could skip it in concert.
Next was I Know I'm Not Wrong. A nice change because it is a fun song. It got me moving. Peacekeper and SHN were next.
Nothing really different.
Destiny Rules WOOHOO!!! I loved it! This is one of my favorite songs on SYW. It was great to hear it done live.
NGBA I got some nice shots of Lindsey!
Rhiannon still rocks.
COME!! OMG Lindsey starts to sing it and then he points at ME!! I was the COME girl! I was so happy! I thought that he would
point at another female next but NO he was focused on me. He sang the song to me and I was so thrilled because it was my
birthday and I could not think of a better present! It was almost as if he knew it. But he did not yet.
Part 2 tomorrow.
