Any "Crazy" moments at a Mac shows this past year?

[77Rumours77]

So anything "CRAZY" happen to you while you were at a mac concert? Sittin behind idiots, people yelling tings that you were thinking WTF? Ya know stuff like that.
Heres mine, I went to the Mac show in OKC last year 7/1/03 and during Stand Back this girl was spining round and round and she was yelling and screaming, and then she got so happy that she threw here full cup of BEER on me and some other people :lol: I hope she spent like $10 on that beer, I really wasent mad I thought It was kinda funny actually! Nothing could of ruind my time! So whats your story?

[Carlene]

Well, not so much "crazy" but funny....

At the Hershey show a few weeks ago, I had three thirty-something men behind me (which is fine, my age group, etc...). But, they CONSTANTLY talked about their cars and changing the spark plugs during Stevie's "Beautiful Child." :lol:

Then, a conversation that went something like this:

GUY #1: Oh, man I gotta piss.
GUY #2: Well go then.
GUY #1: Oh, man, I can't. "I'm So Afraid" is coming up and it's their greatest ****ing song ever.

[a few seconds pass...Stevie is singing about not being a child anymore...]

GUY #1: Oh, MAN...I gotta piss.
GUY #3: Well, piss in your cup if you have to go that bad.

:eek: No, sorry buddy....DON'T DO THAT...especially with me standing right in front of you!!! :wavey:

Nevermind the two middle-aged women, drunk out of their minds, swirling and laughing. One of them says she has to puke.

Leave it to me to find myself in the middle of spewing bodily wastes!!

[ShangriLaTroubl]

I just received my incredible bootleg DVD of the Irvine show (literally the best bootleg ive ever seen) ...as well as the Chula Vista show and I loved seeing the man get on the stage at the Chula Vista show, put his arms around Stevie and Lindsey and then being tackled off the stage, and almost knocking Lindsey over lol

Most of this is in my review of last night's show...but I'll post it anyway.

As I'm sitting there waiting for the show to start a woman behind me is talking to her husband and says "They're new album is called The Dance" :rolleyes:

But the biggest idiot last night was one very drunk and high man probably in his late 40s or 50s. I could smell his marijuana. Before the concert started - and it started 15 minutes late - he was yelling "Let's go! Let them trip, I got here on time!" He also said that "the whole band is f*cking crazy". After The Chain he yelled "Where's Christine!?" :lol: The worst part was after Red Rover when he said "Let's get back to what we paid for!!" :mad: I think during World Turning he said "I'm gonna need a smoke" and then at the beginning of Don't Stop and I a big wiff of it. Good thing I was enjoying myself and singing along between gags.

That is greatness, right there!!! :thumbsup: Guy #1 is a smart man!! LOL

Well, at the Texas shows, Brian (estranged4life) and I were "molested" by women. LOL The drunk lady next to me in Houston needed to be shot with a tranquilizer gun because OMG, was she the most annoying person I've ever seen in my LIFE!!!!

[estranged4life]

"Crazy" moments happened during the 3 shows I attended:

July 1,2003 OKC-
Nearly dying of heat stroke because the humidity was unbaribly high.

Sitting next to 2 big muscle bound jock types who acted bad assed and tough until "Landslide" started, Then one of the two started to flap his wrists up-and-down in an effiminate fashion and screamed "Oh...My...God...Landslide...WEEEEEEE!!!" Livia (Who was a few rows in front of me) was looking back at me when these guys started this and all I could do was shrug my shoulders.

And finally that crazy Dutchman Gerald (shackin' up)...Livia & myself kept looking in Gerald's direction to watch his reacton to seeing his idol Linds' on stage.

July 3,2003 Dallas-
First visit to the HRC (Hard Rock Cafe) in Dallas and I felt paranoid when I noticed "some" people at the bar were staring at my "Rumours" T-Shirt...Turns out to be Christy (Wondergirl), Seteca (Yo buddy) & company.

Made a great impression on Christy by taking a "frat fall" on the steps of the stairway at the HRC while going to check out the upstairs area (And not a single FM related item was found in the HRC...BS on that!!!)

Getting food poisoning from the HRC...Nothing like going to a concert sick as hell, Especially a sick person trying to win "front row" tickets thru a radio station contest he was more or less "volunteered" for :nod:

Moral to story, AVOID the HRC in Dallas!!!!

June 16th 2004-
Finding out that parking was $12...They must be CRAZY for that amount!

As previously mentioned by Christy, Having a drunken female fan use me for her "personal entertainment & boy-toy", But at least she was an attractive drunken female :lol:

Coolest moment I remember was an African-American couple about 3 rows behind me who were singing along to all the songs being played, Including the SYW songs...Hella cool :nod:

Brian "Ledgies are too short" j.

[ontheEdgeof17]

Liddy stared and at me during the guitar solo during 'Come' in Cleveland this year. Odd...yes Crazy...definately. I hope I don't look like a women under concert lighting. :shrug: I was uncomfortable to say the least.


I'm usually the crazy fan...so no crazy fan stories

Hmmm..I'd have to say the funniest moment I experienced was at the very first Mac concert I attended at St. Paul in June of 2003. There was a couple (late 20s or early 30s) next to us who were getting pretty loaded off of beer, and it was fun to watch 'cause the wife was very small and petite and it didn't take her much to get drunk. I entertained them with my vast FM knowledge before the show...During "I'm So Afraid," the wife leaned over to me and asked, "what album is this song from?" I said, "the white FM album." She looked very confused, and the rest of the conversation went like this:

Wife: What? Rumours?
Me: No, the album before Rumours. It's called Fleetwood Mac, it came out in 1975.
Wife: What? Bare Trees?
Me: No! I said the white album, it has Landslide on it!
Wife: What? Rumours? I love that album! (for some unknown reason, she then attempts to climb over the chair infront of her and gets tangled up in it...security has to come over and *assist* her)

Needless to say, it was a blast watching her and her husband (plus security) trying to get her untangled from the chair! She didn't seem to know much about the band other than Rumours, so I have no idea where she pulled Bare Trees from...

[strandinthewind]

Too many to count. I have met SO many great people rom here.

The craziest was when the idiot security guard at the last Atlanta concert kicked me off of the front row while I was at Stevie's feet and touching the stage during Rhiannon even though it was okay for me to be there. There is NO WAY she could not have seen it as I am VERY tall. Stevie immediately thereafter told her Security people to tell the arena people NOT to stop people from coming to the stage and that they were ruining the show for everyone. Far fetched I know, but I think she totally saw the sec. guy being a complete ASS to me and put a stop to it. SIIGGGHHHSSSSSSSSSSS SSSWWOOOOOOOONNNSSSSSSSS :woohoo:

Buying the the boys in the band and the backup players a cocktail and speaking to LB in the bar in Atlanta for a little while in Atlanta was about the coolest.

There are others, but those were cool.

ROTFLMAO!!! I hope I don't either...

The lights gave me Liddy love, so I can't complain.... :]

[madformac]

Craziest moment for me was when one of Lindsey's Turner model 1 guitars went airbourne in London after I'm So Afraid.. 12-15 feet through the air landing on it's top, bouncing (shedding weight as it went) and gracefully sliding to a rest near a rather speechless Ray Lindsey..... It just happened to be the best version of the song on this tour in my opinion too! Awesome version.. :] :]

[David]

So anything "CRAZY" happen to you while you were at a mac concert?I fell asleep. I'm very embarrassed about it now!

[Jessica Leigh]

I fell asleep. I'm very embarrassed about it now!


Ha Ha HA!!!!!!!!! that so rocks!!

There was this lady in Houston sitting behind us.... totally lounging... and KNITTING!! at the start of the show she was all excited and crying... then she settled back and started knitting with this big smile on her face... and she'd bitch when we'd stand up (you know, the old "people are standing in front of me so i have to stand to see and the people behind me are bitching" thing)

[tommer]

mine's very short and very simple: aided by two charming ledgies and peter green, i managed to sneak all the way to FM's VIP room backstage, under the influence of ecstasy.

[TwistedGypsy]

For my very first FM concert (June, 03-Atlanta) some guys were smoking pot and some other people didn't like and a fight broke out during GB.
In Atlanta this year having Stevie's limo block us in at the Four Seasons, then following her limo from the Four Seasons all the way to Chastain. :nod: (What were we thinking??)
In Jacksonville this year another fight breaking out right in front of the stage, and for some reason I pulled on one of the guys arms to stop. Again what was I thinking?? :shrug:
Winning tickets to the Cuyhoga Falls, OH show and flying out the next day. :lol:
What a strange trip this has been. :rolleyes:

[goldustboi]

Manchester gig, big punch up at the start of Tusk, Stevie screaming 'how dare u! get out of our concert!'

Ive never seen anyone so aggressive with a tambourine :eek:

Priceless.

[jbrownsjr]

During BTM tour. Stevie pushes her back up against Christine's back and she's (Stevie) playing the tamborine and the 2 are talking. (sort of with the backs of their heads meeting but turned so they can hear each other.) Stevie sort of slips and pushes Chris (not hard) into her keyboards and something falls off the keyboard and Christine looks at Stevie and they both start cracking up. It was during GYOW I think.

[Rumours]

How about the drunk tramp in Cleveland who was trying to work her way up to the front of the stage by coming on to all the men. Now granted, most of the time, men will fall for this kind of crap, because a lot of them are complete boneheads, and all they need is some chick stickin' her boobs out to them and they'll trip over themselves to do just about anything......but it just wasn't happening for her at this show!!!

She got up to where my brother-in-law was and asked "hey, can you let me up there?" To which she got the same reply from my brother-in-law and 2 or 3 other guys that were standing nearbye, a loud "NO!!!" At which point she responds in a whiny voice "Well.......why???" And then the best: "Hey, what's this guy's name right here......this one playing guitar???"

Uh.......DUH......THAT WOULD BE LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM......you know, of the band Fleetwood Mac.....they're the people playing here on this stage right now......now ask us again why nobody is letting you to the front of the stage!!!!!!!! :rolleyes: :eek: :shocked:

She didn't like it too much when I heard her talking and turned around to say something to my brother-in-law and shot her an evil look!!!!! She shut up and walked away real quick.
We only assist the real fans, hunny!!!!

Stephanie :lol:

[wondergirl9847]

I wish you and your bro-in-law would have been in Houston with me to take care of beyotch from hell. :nod: LOL

[Songbird4]

My craziest FM concert was Jacksonville. Some woman who was trashed decided she liked SYW so much that she couldn't leave to use the restroom. Instead, she dropped her pants in the middle of the song and went to the bathroom right there. :confused: I just don't understand. It was nasty. She was eventually removed from the arena. YUCK!!


Fun things I have done are:

Road tripping from Miami to Atlanta alone to see a concert in Sept of 2003. I got to sit in the 4th row and meet Pattie. Then going with Pattie and Jan to see the band at their hotel. :D

Seeing 3 concerts in two weeks, with the last one being the best in Mansfield. Sitting in the front row with Pattie and Janine. Shaking hands with Lindsey.....and Stevie :D Lindsey sang Goodbye Baby to me and even signed my front row ticket. And Cory gave me Stevie's setlist.

~Kim

P.S. I miss FM.

Oh EEEEEEEWWWW!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!! How disgusting!! God bless ya for having to witness THAT!!!!!

Oh humble me IS actually one of The Craziest Moments of the last Mac-year...

May 2003, in Washington DC. I had TERRIBLE seats, way up in nosebleed. There was a family (?) of drunken redneck types. Aside from the usual 'get up and go get another beer and kick everyone's seat while doing so' sequences, it wasn't anything TOO bad. But after "Big Love", Lindsey got a standing ovation and he screamed out "GET STEYYYVIE BACK UP DER!" And after Never Going Back Again he screamed out something like "Aw SHYEEAH I ain't never not backing up again!" And proceeded to spill beer on me. AND proceeded to laugh about it, until his wife apologized for him. This is why I cannot wait to be on the floor next time around :-)

Next show in DC had me down in better seats next to a couple of nice folks. I went alone (I'm 24 and can't find anyone else to get tickets with me, it kinda sucks) and was striking up conversation with this nice woman. I said "Man I just can't wait to hear 'tusk'" and she kinda flinched. "Wow, that's an obscure one--you must be a real diehard!" And I just smiled. I figured if you're shelling over $100 for seats you'd know a little bit about the band, but she looked like she got her money's worth ;-)

What!? You're kidding, right? Peter Green? Ecstasy?(well, ok, I understand that concept) and all the way to their dressing room?! What happened? Did you see them? Did you rub them? :laugh:
AMber

[Rumours]

Hope not.....if ecstasy wasn't enough to get him arrested, I'm pretty sure rubbing the band members would!!!! :lol: :lol:
Although, nice idea. I did it to Lindsey when he was right in front of me!! :laugh: But only on the leg......
What parts of the body were you thinking of????

Stephanie

[SRhiannon]

While waiting for the concert to start in Denver, this older couple behind us were talking about who was or wasn't going to be in the band that night. The lady said "I heard Stevie wasn't with the band anymore." (Of course, I'm chuckling at that one.) Then he said - "What about Christy?" (Okay, now I'm dying!) BUT, the one that really got me was when she said "Is Mac still the drummer?" ROTFLOL So, now I ask: "WHAT WERE THEY EVEN DOING THERE!!!!!" :shrug:

[Kristen]

Not mine.

I had 8th row center & at one point near the end of the show I looked up & noticed these panties hanging on the side of LB's mic. I pointed them out to my husband who verified that is what they were...

I'm like, WTF? :shocked: This is Fleetwood Mac, not Van Halen!

So at the end of the show LB picks them off, holds them to his chest & looks down at 2 young women in the front row. I see him say, "Are these for me?" And they must have said yes, because then he shook his head and said, "No. They're for you." and he gave them back.

It was the best thing he could have done... scathing rejection but bathed in politeness. We were hysterical.

I was second row, smack dab under Stevie mic. My husband and I watched her take them off. Don't know how she pulled it off taking them off without removing her pants. They must of had velcro or something......my grandma panties dont come that way.... :laugh: :laugh:

She also bought Lindsey a beer an set it in front of him, she told him it was for him and he just politely nodded. At one point when Lindsey was sitting off to the side, she was trying to climb on stage and he was motioning for her to get down and not do that... ;)

It was a great show. I've always been infatuated with Stevie, but I couldn't keep my eyes off Lindsey.....that man knows how to put on a show!!!
