FM: Glasgow Last Night

[Fleetwoodmark]

Bloody awesome, had the night of my life.

Review to follow, Did everyone else enjoy it ??

:):)

[michelej1]

We got one pretty bad review from the press, so it will be great to hear from someone who was there. Of course, we know you're probably a bit biased, but so was that newspaper writer, I think.

I was there. It was the second time I have seen them. I thought they sounded terrific. Certainly, Stevie's voice was in far better shape than when I saw them in 2003 and I was hugely impressed by Lindsey (which, to be honest, was not the case last time).

There were a few "Where's Christine?" comments from some people in my row, but otherwise the songs generally went down well. They ran rather late, so there was no Silver Springs.

Oh, that's interesting that Lindsey seemed improved since 2003. Well, glad he didn't go in the other direction:]:).

I thought it was more "magical" than at the American shows for some reason. I don't know... The crowd response was incredible, although they did quiet down quite a bit between numbers. But there seemed to be something really genuine about their performances and interactions with each other. Rather than feeling like their "Sara" hug was staged, it looked truly heartfelt tonight for some reason. :shrug: They did sound great and I was particularly impressed by Lindsey- it sounds like he went to a vocal coach during his break or something! No bum notes, no growling. And his harmonies are just incredible... And Stevie sounded about as good as she has recently and she seemed to be in a genuinely good mood. For "Landslide" she made her dedication to some guy (forgot his name) that took her to a castle where they allowed her to interact with an owl that was trained to fly to her arm. I could have sworn she was going to get teary eyed over it because she was saying how it was something she would never forget and that it was the highlight of her Euro trip. I could imagine her standing up there in that old Scottish castle and feeling like she was living the life of Rhiannon, the ruler of birds! :lol: Anyway, it totally shocked me that "Silver Springs" was dropped. Had it been included, I would have considered this as the best show I have seen so far on this tour.

[HejiraNYC]

Oh... and while I have my weak internet connection here at the Scottish coast... my pitchas!

The Glasgow show was as good as any of the shows back in the States, &, Canada,

the venue was a bit different in that it is a very wide hall, so perhaps the people on the sections A, &, R did not get the best sound, &, view, but the Band were right on their Game,

unfortunately Silver Springs was dropped,

it was on the set-list, but the crew were taking the stage set-up appart before the the hall lights came on, which caused some confusion for the crowd,

The band's security were great,

the venues security were a bit confused with the crowd being allowed up to thefront of the stage,

all in all, another great show,

oh, btw Stevie has a new pair of boots......

Had it been included, I would have considered this as the best show I have seen so far on this tour.

I am so happy to read that. I was feeling a little disheartened by the one bad review I read.

Great photos. Looks like you managed to get up front then.

[HejiraNYC]

In general I couldn't believe how nice everyone was in Scotland! Maybe I'm used to the rough n tumble New Yorkers... but gosh darn! So the security at the venue was so kind... they tried to get people to their seats, but they could only be so tough... it's not in their nature to bust b@lls! :lol: But the routine seems to be to loiter around the front for a while, get in your predator stance as the crickets start, then be ready to pounce when the lights go down. Works every time! :lol:

Oh, yes, I thought those were new boots... these had some kind of gray fold-down flap at the top. A bit higher than ankle-high.

[gfd1963]

Thanks for the advice. I'll give it a try in Sheffield. Got 3rd row aisle seats so here's hopin'

[hippilil86]

Fabulous pictures.

As always! :thumbsup: I couldn't understand half of what the drunk Glaswegians in the front were saying, but I heard this guy slurring, "...yah, she's gote the beast voice I eevor hoard in me loif." :lol:

[HejiraNYC]

Thanks for the advice. I'll give it a try in Sheffield. Got 3rd row aisle seats so here's hopin'

The aisle is the best! You'll make it, I'm sure of it! But be careful with the stage speakers that face outward- they are LOUD!!!! Best to stand between the monitors. Good luck at Sheffield!! Hopefully they will do something special, since it's the last Euro date, I think.

so will you be in wembly as well ? i need some help in getting to the front

we supposedly have first row center for 10/30.. do we still need to worry about pouncers jumping in front of us ? for 10/31 we have center but row 7 or so i think, is the 'pounce' then in order... we r new to this .. so if u can help , thanks VM

[Dodfather]

It was incredible!! I was right at the front of the stage (they let some rows up) and I shook Lindsey's hand and touched Stevie's shawl! The Stand Back one I mean.

Yes, no Silver Springs was abig disappointment but otherwise it was amazing. Just wonderful. A fukkreview will follow with comments on some of the songs etc...

I have some really good pictures from the gig actually, how do I get them posted in a message here?

By the way, Hejira NYC, where were you standing? I was right at the stage so we must have been in the same row judging by your pics etc? Be great to know if we were next to each other or something!

Thanks for that tip too. I think they do Birmingham and Wembley after Sheffield though.

Maybe the audience's mood made them feel less theatrical too. That's sweet.



For "Landslide" she made her dedication to some guy (forgot his name) that took her to a castle where they allowed her to interact with an owl that was trained to fly to her arm. I could have sworn she was going to get teary eyed over it

Stevie better watch out. Owls are not quite as docile as doves. If she had start crying over an owl flying onto her arm, I think I would have giggled just a bit.

Thanks for the review and the great photos.

So you have front row center for Friday's show?? Well, hello, my new BFF. :lol: I think it's best if you claim your spots as soon as you get in. In all likelihood, security will force everyone to stay at their seats until the show starts, so I think you will have the front all to yourself for a while.

Anyway, don't be surprised to see us in your general area before the show. I'm likely to stand out (especially if Glasgow is any indication :eek: :lol: ).

Well... I don't know, but it's very possible. If you saw a nearly bald Asian guy stand between Stevie's monitors, that was moi. :eek:

Glad you were able to make it up front! The security was guarding the front section like the gestapo! :eek:

[HejiraNYC]

D'oh! I got Birmingham and Sheffield mixed up! Well, I still hope it's special. Come on Christine... you don't have anything better to do!

despite what the local venues security think, the band want the people to have the opportunity to go to the stage,

the head of security for the band takes the time to walk the front row before the show at about 20:00 hrs local time, to speak to all those seated in the front row, &, explain that they should go to the stage in about 10 minutes.....

however, at the SECC, the G4S security staff politely asked everyone to sit down again, (about 2 minutes before the crickets started), being a polite bunch everyone complied,

so about 60 seconds later, the crickets started, and everyone advanced to the front,

some of the front row people did not go to the front of the stage but most did,

anyway, there was a great crowd assembled at the stage, &, there was no further security issues until the end when Silver Spring was not played, & security were asking people to leave before the lights came up,

the boots were black, about 5" heels, just above the ankle, with what appeared to be crystal studded staps, rather nice

[mtkad]

My first FM Gig! absoloutely loved it! Got to play lindsey's guitar & slap hands with him! Managed to get pretty close to the stage.

When i went into the venue, venue security didn't seem to keen on letting folk up front, but then the group's security took over, thank goodness! Highlights were probably Big Love, Landslide, GYOW, Don't Stop, Storms.

Slightly dissappointed with no Silver Springs, but after watching a youtube vid of Don't Stop, i noticed Stevie really badly missed the high note, so probably best she didn't risk it. She could always lower it like Lindsey's done to quite a few numbers, but it wouldn't be the same.

Have fun at the shows and regale me with stories over $3.00 margs when you return.

Doesn't everyone use a thimble and rubber band?

Also - is the band flying around England or are they driving and basing out of London.

Wembley on the 6th is the final date

Six weeks in a foreign country, how the time flew....

:)

[Fleetwoodmark]

It was my first FM concert, absolutely loved it :)

I was so surprised at how strong Lindsey's voice was, he must have been using a coach before the European leg of the tour. Stevie struggled a little with her first couple of songs but came through, her voice was a little overused, sounded like she needed a couple of days off. However she was so awesome, she came across as such a lovely person. For the Landslide dedication she dedicated it to "Jimmy" at the castle for letting her have a go at letting the owl land on her arm. I'm not just saying this but she was not far off tears when she said it, so sweet. I think she sees Scotland as a really cool mystical country haha.

Mick was absolutley killer on the drums, John was excellent on bass, he got a reallt big cheer at the end. Mick comes across as a gentleman at he end with the band introductions/end speech.

Shame they did do SS, but the highlights were Second Hand News, Big Love, Sara, Don't Stop.

My only little niggle was the fact that Lindsey had far too much delay on his sound for quite a few songs on the night: for instance Dreams & Gypsy.

:):)

[Dodfather]

Ok, here's my review. Not too long because I'm sure others have done this already...

Security were great at letting the first few rows up to the front and I took full advantage and made sure I was right in front of the stage the whole time! Overall, the band sounded great - which is actually not that easy in the SECC as it isn;t the greatest venue but they did! Stevie was on great form throughout, new boots, lots of twirls, great voice apart from a couple of tiny things that you wouldn't have noticed if you weren't right in front of a speaker like I was! During the solo of Stand Back she came right down to the crowd and although she wasn't shaking hands I touched her shawl!

Lindsey was crazy as ever, working the crowd and indulging in guitar masturbation of the highest order! It wasn't excessive though, it was great! At one point he even appeared to be humping his guitar and groaning suggestively! I think this may have been at the end of Oh Well but others can correct me on this? During his huuuge solo in I'm So Afraid he stood right on the speaker I was at and shook hands with a few of us and then moved down to let the people next to me play his guitar. I tried to reach it but just missed! I think the guitar playing was in I'm So Afraid but cant be exactly sure, I know my handshake was!

Us at the front even had a bit of banter with John. He was in front of us and everyone was screaming for Stevie and Lindsey so a couple of us started yelling for John and he turned and grinned, even more so when we shouted that we liked his hat! Then, in our very Scottish way this became "John, gies a dance!" and he shuffled around for a second or two before going back to his corner, haha! There was a HUGE cheer when The Chain's bassline started...

Highlights for me: Landslide - the best moment of the night, just gorgeous. I'd been singing along the entire time but for some reason I couldn't for this one. I just stood and stared, it was quite emotional. If anyone has a mp3/video of that performance for youtube I'd greatly appreciate it! It was gorgeous and needs to be seen and heard. A great vocal. Stevie dedicated it to a guy called Jason (?) who she'd met at a falconry centre earlier in the day and she'd had an owl called Sky fly to her arm. I got excited by this cos I love falconry centres!! She said it's just not the kind of thing you get in the US.

Stroms - The beautiful harmonised ending. "All of the prayers in the world couldn;t save us" Am I remembering that line right guys? It was lovely. Stevie turned to Lindsey and the sung it in perfect harmony right to each other. Again, vid/mp3 is needed!

I Know I'm Not Wrong - Now I really like this song but wasn't prepared for just how brilliant it would be live! Stevie's voice was great in the harmonies for this too.

Stand Back - wow! This rocked. I think what made this one of the best ones for me was that the girl I was standing next to loved it as much as I did and we suddenly threw our arms around each other and starting singing sooo loud and dancing with each other! Jumping up and down, just going for it! The atmosphere for this was great. Stevie passed right by us during the guitar solo and I touched her shawl (!) At the end of the song we got a little carried away and she very suddenly just lunged forward and kissed me - haha! To quote Stevie...No words were spoken...

No Silver Springs was a disappointment, definitely, but nithing we can do about it. I was a bit gutted though but hey, by then I'd just been to an amazing gig!

Those will do for my highlights right now, suffice to say that the whole atmosphere in those few rows by the stage waelectric for the entire night. On the way out of the venue to the train station there's a long covered walkway and what happened here was a bit special too...

It's a long tunnel suspended over the road and it was full of people moving very slowly and there was this rumbling of voices and thumping coming from the back of the crowd.. it got closer..and closer,passing through everyone like some kind of mexican wave.. then I realised that people were thumping the walls in time and chanting "I can still hear you saying you will never break, never break the chain!" This went on for the whole 5 min walk through the tunnel, it was awesome!

Phew, that will do I think. It was just an amazing night all round!! It's by far the best gig I've been to, and I've been to a lot. Especially n the past 2 years. They knocked Counting Crows from the top spot, and I met half of the Counting Crows after that one!

I have some great pictures so if someone could tell me how to embed them into a post on here I'll share them with you all...

Al.

OMG, these pics are just AWESOME and I love this one!!! Stevie's new shoes really rocks!!! :thumbsup:

Al I totally loved your review! Especially the parts about the girl's interaction next to you. Make sure you check the local personals in the next few weeks, she might be looking for her lost connection: guy at FM concert, in front row, we danced and sung together and I kissed you at the end...
Also when you described walking through the tunnel and the fans pounding on the walls singing The Chain--that was totally cool. And then your pictures! WOW!!!! Absolutely stunning! The colors are so brilliant, the closeups so clear. Vibrant and true to life. Thank you very much!!!:thumbsup:

And I am so glad you had excellent seats and had such a grand time!

AWESOME pictures, everyone! I'm soooo envious! It's times like these that I wish I lived in Europe! :lol:

[Musicman408]

It's nice to hear your reviews!!! Thanks so much for the pics and vids. They look and sound great! Oh to be in Fleetwood Mac... just for one nigh! :)

Stevie better watch out. Owls are not quite as docile as doves. If she had start crying over an owl flying onto her arm, I think I would have giggled just a bit.

Mama's goal in life is to be in the last Harry Potter installment with her own Hedwig :lol:

[Steviefan49]

Sure, Arlene! Wish there was more!! :)

You were sweet to post those.. and I LOVED seeing them! Thanks again Dee!:thumbsup:

I thought it was more "magical" than at the American shows for some reason. I don't know... The crowd response was incredible, although they did quiet down quite a bit between numbers. But there seemed to be something really genuine about their performances and interactions with each other. Rather than feeling like their "Sara" hug was staged, it looked truly heartfelt tonight for some reason. :shrug: They did sound great and I was particularly impressed by Lindsey- it sounds like he went to a vocal coach during his break or something! No bum notes, no growling. And his harmonies are just incredible... And Stevie sounded about as good as she has recently and she seemed to be in a genuinely good mood. For "Landslide" she made her dedication to some guy (forgot his name) that took her to a castle where they allowed her to interact with an owl that was trained to fly to her arm. I could have sworn she was going to get teary eyed over it because she was saying how it was something she would never forget and that it was the highlight of her Euro trip. I could imagine her standing up there in that old Scottish castle and feeling like she was living the life of Rhiannon, the ruler of birds! :lol: Anyway, it totally shocked me that "Silver Springs" was dropped. Had it been included, I would have considered this as the best show I have seen so far on this tour.

Yes, when his voice hits that sweet spot -- it's really something. I felt similarly during the end of the GOS tour. Anyway, great description. This really makes me excited. Maybe the whole theory about them touring together to play/sing like a band again will work for the new album, whenever that may be. Though somebody said: strike when the iron is hot.
