[Edgeof27]

What about a "Ledgie Convention" at Emeril's @ 17:00 hrs,

gotta try some Creole / Cajun specialities,

see you there,

[Edgeof27]

Hmmm,

only 7 "Ledgies" going to Vegas,

there has to be more than that going,

[Wildheart82]

That actually sounds really good since I can't go to New Orleans for the last concert of the tour.

What about a "Ledgie Convention" at Emeril's @ 17:00 hrs,

[Edgeof27]

20 hrs to "Show Time",

no time to sleep,

time to go meet the band.............

[Edgeof27]

Everything that can be said about this show has been stated before with respect to all the preceeding shows on this tour,

This one just happens to be the best so far,

Stevie was very animated, (no lack of energy whatsoever),

Unfortunately, the start of the show was delayed about 15 minutes, due to an injury in the audience, (a lady tripped over some cable covers at 20:10 hrs, & the first aiders helped her out of the Garden Arena at 20:30), the show proceeded at about 20:35.

Another stellar performance from all involved.....

In MGM, right? That place is always closed when I'm in Vegas! Been wanting to check it out for years now. I guess that's what I get for going during off peak times.

[ShangriLaTroubl]

Someone said they heard Stevie had "curly" hair in Vegas, any truth to that?

[carol7lynn]

I hope so. I like her better with curly hair.:blob2:

Did you take any pics this time??? :D

[Glittermoondust]

So where are all of the reviews for this show?? Is everyone still gambling??? :confused:

[ChristyL17]

LOL, I was wondering the same thing myself, want to see pics!!

[FM77]

I was at the show and thought it was fantastic. Stevie was very animated, sounded great. Lindsey seemed to really enjoy himself--he was very friendly and paid alot of attention to the VIP group in the front row who must have bought the Mick package. I sat next to his brother (Lindsey's) and he was very friendly and rocked out! That was very cool to see--he watched everything Lindsey did and whooped and yelled as loud as anyone in our section for the killer guitar solos. Lindsey dedicated Second Hand news to him. He was at the Phoenix show also and thought the sound was better at MGM. My friend that I was with thought the PHX show was just a bit better than Vegas--I did not see the PHX show but this was a great show IMO.

Stevie's hair was not curly; standard hair for the evening---she danced over by the back-up singers during GYOW which was the only time I saw Lori smile thru the whole show. Storms was just killer as always.

This was my second show and I could see them again and again---I think they are really sounding great right now and its a shame to think this tour is ending in a few weeks. I've said it before---this could be the last Mac tour for a very long time. I hate the thought of it.

Thanks for the review!! You were sitting next to Lindsey's brother??? How cool is that!!! I've been dying to go to another show myself but nothing has been close enough and I don't have the cash at this time to do any traveling :(

[Nico]

Thanks for sharing! I've always wondered: how does one sit next to someone like Lindsey's brother and know it's Lindsey brother? How do you recognize him from any other person? lol!

[SandyMac]

Doesn't his brother look very similar to Lindsey? I forget his name.. is it Gary?

[Nico]

Does he look like Lindsey? I can't remember but I do recall he has a brother who sort of looks like a college professor with really immaculate hair. Gary...er, it sounds about right. :shrug: I just remember he had two brothers and they were all insanely good-looking when they were young. These days, the brother could look like anyone for all I know.

[belladonnadream]

Any pics yet??? I want to see the curly wavy hair Stevie was sporting!;)

[FM77]

Lindsey's brother's name is Jeff I believe--he looks alot like Lindsey and he had an All Access lanyard on that had his name on it. Pretty obvious. I recognized him before he sat down-- we were sitting on the floor about 10 rows from the stage and I figured we would be sitting with some family if they were there.

As I said I loved the show but I was disappointed in the MGM venue! I expected it to be this very swank room since Streisand had played there etc..and it was very small with the floor seats very close together. You were practically on top of the person next to you. The arena is obviously old and it shows.

Somebody who told Lindsey's brother what a big fan they are, said they didn't expect to hear "Cherokee Nation" tonight since it was popular with Lindsey's first band The Buckinghams. He politely told them that wasn't Lindsey's band...FRIGGIN IDIOTS. They weren't drunk either---just not very bright. I leaned over and said Lindsey would get a kick out of that story and he laughed and said "I'm not even going to tell him".

[WelshWitchPMD]

^^^ Paul Revere and The Raiders did Cherokee Nation. I guess those fans were really dumb.

[michelej1]

Thanks for the details FM77.

In Jeff's place, I'd be good and tired of Lindsey saying that he got into music through him because he bought some records home. Surely his big bro had to have inspired him in some other way.

No. It sounds like he is extremely proud of Lindsey and that is great to read.

On Lindsey's home video Jeff came out and spent a week with him. Maybe he's doing the same thing this tour.

Michele

[FM77]

Jeff lives in Phoenix now (as do I) and he said this was only the second show he saw. He of course went to the PHX show also. He said he is retired now and plays alot of golf.

[WildHeart69]

Well, I am back from Vegas! My three friends and I flew in on Tuesday and came home late yesterday. Really tired still!

Well I didnt even get a ticket until 5pm before the show- Sect B, Row V Seat 1... at least I had a seat in the front section - so I figured I had good sneaking odds in my favor....

So I finally get in and security is at almost every few rows doing ticket checkpoints.... long story short I had to do a little maneuvering, but I got up to the front of the stage to the right of Lindsey's mic! I was tempted to move over to Stevie's side, but I had never stood on LB's side all night, AND I didnt want to risk getting tossed out of there so I stayed put and it payed off!

The show had two energy levels: from Monday Morning til before GDW was your average FM show - but Gold Dust Woman threw on a swritch or something ....Stevie was in rare form and threw the whole rest of the show into total overdrive... (If there is VIDEO out there, YOU MUST SEE IT!)

The rest of this show was just amazing... after World Turning, just before the band intros Mick had to stop and catch his breath saying something like "I dont know what got into us tonight!"

Being on that side of the stage I had a really good view of Mick and I tended to watch him very often throughout the show... man he was intense! and my attention did not go unnoticed! at the end of Dont Stop he came over to me and gave me BOTH of his stick!!! Yes, I said it! BOTH of them! I didnt think it could get better than Philly's show... but It DID


I gotta go, but I will post the show details later... THERE ARE A LOT!

Both sticks. How amazing. Mick is a crazy man and he gives so much to Lindsey and Stevie's energy. He is a bigger FM fan than any of us in the end. Yes, do come back with more details. Sounds like you had a fantastic night.

[WildHeart69]

I have not been reading the reviews on here for the latest shows so I dont know how much of this is new and how much is similar to other shows.

Stevie came out with a shorter version of the old Frankenboks which was a little disappointing, but I know the pain she has been dealing with, so I got over it fast. She had a pair of gloves on with glittery fringe hanging from the knuckles. I think they looked pretty ridiculous, but I am no fashion critic...

There arent many times when I have said I REALLY enjoyed a Rhiannon performance, but this one was great... especially the end, she just nailed it. I kinda thought, ok that was the song she focused on to nail for the night and this should be an average show otherwise...

The show continued as usual.... then....

Gold Dust Woman was just the most intense performance I have seen in person by far! Stevie was out to prove herself for sure. She held out the "She's a draaaaagon" part out til next tuesday and did a new variation of the "Shadows" part that I have never heard before. The best part was instead of the usual pose at the end she started going into these mini convulsions where she was swaying and shaking while Mick did the final "thump thump"s and gong outro. It was a vision! When the lights came up she turned around and the crowd went NUTS and she took a much deserved bow and then shook here finger out at the crowd as if she was thinking "Don't count me out yet!"

The 'boks were on until Stand Back when she came out with the ankle high platforms. She also came out with TWO shawls on for Stand Back! One was a white one and on top of that was a black one. She ripped into it so hard in the beginning that she totally messed up the entire second verse. I looked over at the girls and shook my head and laughed and Jana saw me because I saw her smile at me. Stevie also changed up the "he said take me" lines and said "he said take it all!" each time. She was just one fire at this point and did more twirls than I have seen her do in a VERY long time.

[michelej1]

Yes, I kind of liked the way they went with the sparkly detail on the dress. I prefer those to the full leather gloves.

I am way into the "take it all" on Stand Back.

So, did Mick say anything when he gave you the drum sticks? What were the people around you doing? Did they ask you to touch them? Just think to yourself those are the same drum sticks he used to orchestrate Stevie's GDW convulsions :laugh:.

Yeah, I don't understand those new leather gloves with the silver strings either. They remind of something that should be worn in one of the X-Men movies.

However, it sounds like a rocking show!! Glad to hear Stevie is back in form and messing up songs again!! :]

[WildHeart69]

Yeah, I described them to my girlfriend as "Wolverine" gloves!



To continue my post:

The rest of the show was EXTREMELY high energy...

Lindsey's work on ISA was especially great (made me wish I was over there!!)

Mick, as mentioned, was FIERCE! He played an extended solo during World Turning and I didnt think he wanted to stop then either!

I am drawing a blank on more details, but I have a couple crummy camera phone pics that I will post

[WildHeart69]

Michele

He looked at me with this Devilish grin and squinty eyes right before walking over to me. I dont remember him saying anything though... I made this motion on my shoulders like I was getting knighted with them and he got a chuckle out of it!

[michelej1]

Mick, as mentioned, was FIERCE! He played an extended solo during World Turning and I didnt think he wanted to stop then either!


I love what they're doing now, walking back onto the stage and gathering around the drum kit and just staring at Mick as if entranced, while he bangs away. It's almost as if they're mesmerized and vibrating, his drum beats pulsing through them. It's a long moment before they turn away from him and conclude the song.

My boss traveled out to the west coast last week for a vacation with her friend from India and went to the Vegas show. My boss isn't a fan, but her friend is and wanted to go.

My boss' thoughts were that they were very good, but loud. She thought Stevie was intriguing with her shawls and spins and loved her voice. However, she did say that she thought the guitar player was the power behind the band - she thought Lindsey was amazing!

Anyways, her friend called and my boss asked me to come into the office and we had a conference call about the band - her friend wanted to know all about Lindsey and Stevie's past - so I filled her in... it was a cool way to spend 30 minutes at work yesterday. I'm also loaning her my Mick Fleetwood book for her to read before she heads back to India - I told her she could borrow only if I get it back since it is out of print!

and my boss bought me 2 souvenirs - 1) a Navajo Folk Art handcarved wood figurine from the Grand Canyon; and 2) a black Fleetwood mac beenie from the concert.. yep, I have a pretty cool boss.


Back to the East Coast - for those fans going to the Baltimore show - it's a great sounding venue for concerts. I saw U2 there a few years back and the sound it so much better than the Verizon Center in D.C. oh - and if you haven't gotten a tix yet, keep checking because yesterday section 2 row F seats were popping up (6th row). See you in Baltimore!!!

Lately, it seems that security doesn't care what you do with the cameras, as long as you don't use flash. I wonder if the instructions that the band is giving about cameras have changed. At the Staples center, my camera actually went off and beeped when the guy wanded me. I thought that meant a trip back to my car. But he said "What's in your jacket." He was holding the jacket and I know it was heavy and, at that point, lying would be futile. I said it was a camera and he just let me through.

I thought I got a really tolerant guy, but maybe everyone was letting cameras in.
