Wow! What a concert! :laugh: I loved every moment of it! And my spot in the General Admission was most desirable!
Rick Vito was fabulous! Indeed, he was the most energetic performer for the entire night! :nod: He fills in for Peter Green so well!
My favourite songs of the night were "Oh Well" (a fantastic rendition), "Black Magic Woman" (Rick stressed to everyone about how it was a Peter Green/FM song), "Red Hot Gal", "Rattlesnake Shake", "Stop Messin' Around", and "Shake Your Moneymaker". Sadly, there was no "Albatross"...
Of course Michael McDonald performed, as did Boz Scaggs. Both were very enjoyable (particularly "What A Fool Believes" by MM and "Lido Shuffle" by BS), although I was very tired by the end of the night (only five hours sleep the night before), so I didn't mind it when everything finished...
Unfortunately, I didn't find a good opportunity to shout "CHAMPION RICK!" like I did with Lindsey Buckingham at the 15 Dec concert, although I probably would've felt a little conspicuous and embarrassed anyway... :laugh:
I only saw one other person wearing an Unleashed shirt (they were wearing the brown version, while I wore the black one). Also, as a result of wearing the shirt, I was asked by someone to confirm that Christine mcVie wasn't touring with FM anymore (apparently a group of friends was having an intense debate about it... :laugh:).
My mum and I tucked into a very nice bottle of Fairbank Cabernet Sauvignon. Surprisingly, there's still some left! :woohoo:
And I bought the Blue Again CD (I'm listening to "Black Magic Woman" as I'm writing this sentence). I'll probably go and buy the DVD soon...
I almost forgot - I saw John Brumby, the Victorian Premier (only my mum realised at the time), and the father of a FM band manager who managed for 20 years. :) We didn't get much of a chance to speak, however...
Well, do any other Ledgies have any experiences to share about that night?
