How old were you when you attended your first Mac Concert?

[louielouie2000]

A thread in the chit chat forum about young fans got my little brain wondering. How old was everyone here when you want to see Fleetwood Mac for the first time?

I was 12 years old... and it was the Time tour. I still remember it like it was yesterday! I was just giddy with excitement. I was 16 when I saw my first Mac member solo show: Stevie's Enchanted tour. I still hate I've not seen any of the other solo Macsters. I have always been dead broke when Lindsey comes to the Carolinas (and he's never come within a couple hours of Charlotte, anyway). I'd especially like to see him. I'd love to see Bob Welch perform too. Guess I gotta get on top of my Mac bucket list! :laugh:

[StreetAngel95]

I was 8! I had lawn seats to the "Say You Will" tour in New Jersey and it was amazing! I had been listening to Mac all my life, but never knew what they looked like. My mom was like, "Miranda, i'm letting you know right now that the woman likes to spin around in lots of lace and flowy dresses" and that's when i fell in total admiration with Stevie.

[Sanne2]

25, 5 months ago :rolleyes:

[StreetAngel95]

25, 5 moths ago :rolleyes:

oh wow! 5 MOTHS ago?!?!?! LOL:]

[fleetwoodtrick]

I saw Stevie when I was 14, but I didn't see the Mac until last year. (Incase you can't do the math, I was 15 ;) )

Funny story, when my aunt and I were at the Unleashed concert in Milwaukee she was like "I'm pretty sure I saw Fleetwood Mac in the 70s." And I was like "OMG NO WAY WHAT YEAR?! HOW COME YOU'VE NEVER TOLD ME!?" She said "Well... you see... it was the 70s. And I don't think I knew it had a name." :lol: She also deemed Mick the Drumming Santa. I love my aunt! :thumbsup:

[Dowie100]

20, saw them for the first time last year on their Unleashed Tour in Glasgow :D and what an amazing show it was I loved hearing "Storms" live that song means a lot to me.

[paleshadow]

I was 16 when I saw them during the "Shake the cage" Tango in the Night tour.

[nailatixela]

17, which was 11 months ago. First time seeing any of them was 15, with Stevie.

[vivfox]

I first saw Fleetwood Mac on the Tusk Tour in Nov. 1979 when I was 17.
I first saw Stevie solo in July, 1983 on The Wild Heart Tour when I was 21.

[liamtgallagher]

17, in October last year.

[holidayroad]

I was 23! I went to a concert on The Dance tour! I was thrilled!

[PenguinHead]

I was 17 when I saw them at The Centrum in Worcester, MA on their Mirage tour. It was a fantastic show. Several years later I saw Stevie at the same venue on her Rock A Little tour. It was not a fantastic show; it was a mess.

[LittleCharmer]

I got a ticket to see the Mick Fleetwood Blues Band w/ Rick Vito for my 18th birthday, then a ticket to see Fleetwood Mac in Manchester for my 19th birthday; almost a year to the day :)

[ButterCookie]

I got a ticket to see the Mick Fleetwood Blues Band w/ Rick Vito for my 18th birthday, then a ticket to see Fleetwood Mac in Manchester for my 19th birthday; almost a year to the day :)

Everytime I see your Sig it hurts my heart, because I wasn't allowed to go. I hope you had an amazing time :)

[cristochango]

Yeah Louie, I saw you changin the subject of that thread over there :p

I Was 16 for the Unleashed Tour
First concert ever

[MikeVielhaber]

I was 18 in June 2004 on the SYW tour. They played a bigger arena in Houston the previous october....in fact it was the very first concert at that arena (The Houston Rockets play there), but the ticket prices weren't too high. They came in 2004 to a smaller place and lower prices so I went to that one.

[vivfox]

I was 17 when I saw them at The Centrum in Worcester, MA on their Mirage tour. It was a fantastic show. Several years later I saw Stevie at the same venue on her Rock A Little tour. It was not a fantastic show; it was a mess.

I was at both of these shows. I agree with your assesment. There were 2 RAL Centrum shows. I only went to one of them.

[vivfox]

I forgot to mention that I first saw Lindsey live in 1993.

[Liza]

I saw Fleetwood Mac at Wembley on their Tusk tour - how fantastic it was - and i was only 17 or 18. It is really great to see so many young Mac fans on here. Unfortunately I didn't get to see Stevie solo until the other side of the mirror tour in Dallas and Huston in 1989 and then in London later that year. Its time she came back to the UK solo.:]

[priestofnothing]

I was 16 and it was 1982 - Mirage tour in Dallas TX

For Stevie solo, I was 15 and it was 1981 - Bella Donna tour in Dallas TX also.

[skuncles]

My first concert ever was Stevie Nicks ~ Rock A Little tour 1986 when I was 15. My first Mac concert was Behind The Mask 1990 when I was 19.

37, 9 months ago, new fan

[Aussie W/Heart]

16yrs old Rumours tour 1977, Melbourne Australia, Front row:thumbsup: 1/2 hr before they were to go on stage, somehow I managed to enter/SNEAK in their tent behind the stage, I chickened out asking for their autographs:mad: still it was cool seeing them all hanging out together, even if it was only for 20 seconds:)

[chiliD]

I was 18...(yes, there was a time long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away when I was a teenager)...


...August, 1974, at the taping of Don Kirshner's Rock Concert TV show (that entire season was filmed at the Center Theatre in Long Beach, CA)...

...saw them a few months later (December) at the Long Beach Arena, one of Bob Welch's last shows (if not THE last show) as a member of Fleetwood Mac. Climax Blues Band was the opening act.


I'd had tickets about a year earlier, but it turned out that the show I had tickets for would've been the "bogus Mac", so I got my tickets refunded. In hindsight, I should've gone for historical purposes to actually be able to say
"I saw the bogus Mac", but, who knew??:shrug:

[seekerj]

My first FM show was at Worcester MA for the Mirage tour in 1982 and I was 16.

[GypsySorcerer]

I was 22. It was the Nashville show in May 2003, SYW tour. Seats were nosebleeds. :laugh:

[Sleepless-Child]

17, in October last year.

Well, me too, exactly.

[TrueFaith77]

First Fleetwood Mac concert: I was 31 and it was last year... first show of the Unleashed Tour!

[michelej1]

still it was cool seeing them all hanging out together, even if it was only for 20 seconds:)

Oh, I would have been so scared of being thrown out and yelled at. Do you remember anything they were doing at the time, who was talking to whom, etc?

I was only allowed to go if my older sister came with me. When I saw the SYW tour I coudn't read the programme because I hadn't got my glasses with me :laugh:

Gail

[Gypsycat999]

I was 15 and it was in last October. I skipped 2 days of school & drove through almost whole Germany to see it. I felt so much like a roadie. :D

[louielouie2000]

How interesting... seems the band has ALWAYS attracted a lot of teens, throughout it's existence! I'd say that's pretty damn cool for a band going on 4 and a half decades old! :D

[BellaDonna93]

October 10th 2009 xD
16 years old :)
Now I'm 17 xD

[Skyveris]

I attended my first Fleetwood Mac concert on June 8th of last year (two days after my 24th birthday). It's a memory that I'll cherish forever.

-Matt

[RockAlot]

I was 17 maybe 18 in the late 70's, I believe the show was maybe at Dodger Stadium, it was FM and Peter Framton!

[babaluo]

17, last May in San Diego.

[AliceLover]

I was 8 years old for my first Mac concert and it was The Dance Tour in Mansfield, MA.

Have seen every Stevie/Mac/Lindsey show in the area since 97' except Stevie with Petty because I was in Disney world!!

[drzubritsky]

I had just turned 30 when I saw them for the first time on The Dance tour in 1997. One of the great "missing pieces" in my concert-going experiences finally fell into place.

[Aussie W/Heart]

Oh, I would have been so scared of being thrown out and yelled at. Do you remember anything they were doing at the time, who was talking to whom, etc?

Michele
Yeah I was alitle scared, & getting yelled at did cross my mind LOL
If ONLY I had my friend with me at the time, I would of grabbed her arm and dragged her in, would of been so easy to just walk in then mingle lol, it was a really big tent, there were 5 other bands playing at this outdoor gig, so a really big party atmosphere going on inside, large esky's/barrel's full of alcohol & of course the smell of pot was evident, so I scaned the tent looking for Stevie & the Mac, to my amazment there they were in the back corner, Stevie & Christine were sitting down huddled together in the corner laughing, drinks in hand, the boy's were just standing up not talking, backs turned & looking not at all interested joining in with the girls convo.

I remember watching their performance, thinking ooh Stevie & Lindsay really DONT like each other, no eye contact at all, Stevie looked very serious on stage, she did make a comment to the crowd in the front row that something down there smells really good, as pot was passed around under her nose she lent over the stage to smell it:D she did a kick arse Rhiannon & Gold Dust Women. I had such a great time, a cherished memory from a long time ago!!!!

[DavidMn]

I was 24 when I saw them on the Time tour in1995 at the Rockfest near Eau Claire Wisconsin.


Honorable mention: When Fleetwood Mac came to Minneapolis on the Tusk tour on May 9&10, 1980 I begged my mom for 3 weeks to elt me go but she wouldnt. Not that shes a prude, but she knew what went on at rock concerts back then and she did want her impressionable 9 year old son exposed to it. The 2 days of the shows I sat in my rrom with the curtains drwan listening to my Fleetwood Mac records and wishing I was at the shows!:mad::lol:

[Doctor]

I was 20. I went to see them in 2009. It's unfortunate I couldn't drink, since it seemed everyone else was 40+ and drinking.

[Amlyn]

34!! Still kicking myself for not getting a ticket for The Dance and SYW. But, I did go 4 times last year, so that helps make up for it a little.

[mylittledemon]

Saw them in 2003 (I was almost 24)

I saw Stevie first, though, in 2001 on TISL tour.

[Beachwood Mac]

I had just turned 16. August 31, 1975 at Balboa Stadium in San Diego. General admission lawn seats were a whopping $7.50 The concert was Rod Stewart and Faces, Loggins and Messina, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Fleetwood Mac with brand new members Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks! Here is a picture of the ticket stubs. Unfortunately they ripped the ticket stubs in half when you entered. No scanners back then. The Fleetwood Mac side wasn't on the remaining half.

Not.a.damn.thing. :mad:

I do remember being there but 1. It was a hot summer day and 2. Never mix Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill wine, weed and red vines. You just end up passed out on the field of a football stadium. :lol:

[Moz]

I was 17 and it was June 4, 2009. Ended up standing a foot away from Lindsey. Effing amazing. :thumbsup:

[bellagypsy79]

i was 18. it was november 1997 the Dance tour. It was not only my first Mac concert, it was my first EVER concert. I went with my sister and her husband. It was lousy for me because I spent soooo much on the tickets and our seats were so far back and crappy, i couldn't see anything. i cried when they were all comming on stage to start singing "The Chain". Mostly because I couldn't see them. Then later on when Stevie was singing "Rhiannon", some drunk girl was standing up the whole time while we were all sitting down. She was swaying her ass back and forth to the music and I wanted to see Stevie and couldn't. My sister tried tapping her on her back to ask her to move but she wouldn't budge. I pouted for the rest of the night. When after they sang "Don't Stop", we headed towards the door to leave and I told my sister to wait because I knew that Chris would be singing "Songbird". We stood outside the main lobby I guess you call it, and at that moment my heart stopped. Christine sounded so beautiful. Her voice made everyone just shut up in the whole auditorium. I smiled and said that that was just what i needed to hear. She made you feel at ease and peacefull when she sang that song that it just brought you to your knees.
That was my first Mac concert. I made up for all the time I lost (because of the drunk girl) by seeing them in 2003 with floor seats. Too bad Chris wasn't with them. I would've liked to have heard "Songbird" from inside the auditorium for once.

Your experience sounds a lot like mine! My first FM concert was October 1997 for The Dance tour. I also had terrible seats and since I'm really short, I couldn't see a thing when anyone stood. I did my best to see what I could. Some jerk girl sitting behind us and to the right talked loudly to her friends during every song that wasn't sung by Stevie. Considering I was wanting to hear Lindsey and Christine, I felt like slapping the girl!
I had better seats for the Say You Will tour. They weren't floor seats, but maybe the next level up. I still had trouble with people standing during the last four songs, but I was just happy to be there at that point.

I was 22. The Dance tour, Marine Midland (now HSBC) Arena 11/97.

Paula, are you on Facebook? If you are, you don't have to add me. Only if you want to.

I was a pre-teen when I first saw the band. I did not like that first show because I would have preferred being at an Elton John concert.

[MissLadyLoki]

I was 18, on their Unleashed tour at Madison Square Garden (June 11, 2009). I was a bit upset Christine wasn't there, but they more than made up for it with the elementary school-age kids chorus during Landslide and plenty of killer playing from Lindsey, especially during I'm So Afraid and Big Love.

Why were you upset? It shouldn't have been a surprise that Christine wouldn't be there -- she has been out of the band for 12 years now!

I, too, was 18 when I first saw Fleetwood Mac. It was 1982 on the Mirage tour. I still remember the show -- it was great!

Wow! That must have been a great show. Stevie & Lindsey out on the road for the very first time with Fleetwood Mac , and they got to play some stadium shows supporting some very big names.
My first show was on Dec 6th 1979 at the L.A. Forum. I was 16 years old. It was the biggest show I had ever been to-my first in L.A.- and they were very LOUD. The set was great-it was the Tusk Tour, and they did alot of the new songs. I remember Save Me A Place, Angel, and Sara in particular. And the Chain & Rhiannon were awesome onstage at the time. The memories are very hazy now.

I was 14. Thursday 31 May Manchester Free Trade Hall.

July 1,2003 OKC - I was 33 at the time...Still seems like only yesterday that Debbie & I hung out with Gerald/shackin' up pre-show, Debbie went to the Redhawks baseball game as Gerald & I met up with Livia for the show.

[CreepingDeath]

I was 13. October of 1997 for The Dance tour. MGM Grand Arena, Las Vegas. I also saw them in Reno on the same tour. Not great seats but I'll always be glad I got to see them while Christine was still in the band.

[The Catdancer]

I was 17 and it was the Tusk tour.

A thread in the chit chat forum about young fans got my little brain wondering. How old was everyone here when you want to see Fleetwood Mac for the first time?



It was 1976 and I was 1 yr old. :lol:

1997. I was 15 :) Went with my dad and a girl in high school I had a crush on. We're still friends to this day.

Man, I had no idea so many people on this board are so young ! I was 16 when I saw Fleetwood Mac at the Cow Palace in San Francisco on the Tusk tour. And I was 17 when I saw Stevie in SF for the White Winged Dove (Bella Donna) tour. Yes, I'm old ! :)

Wow those both sound like they would have been a ton of fun.

[pattyfan]

They were. :) Imagine seeing F Mac during the Tusk tour, with 7 new songs (including Angel, Sara, and Sisters of the Moon), plus seeing Christine play acoustic guitar on Save Me a Place. It was my very first concert!!! And on the White Winged Dove tour Stevie played 8 (yes 8) songs from Bella Donna, plus Gold and Braid, plus Blue Lamp! It was heaven. Plus that piano version of Rhiannon, with Roy Bittan. That will never be equaled. :)

I was 14. Thursday 31 May Manchester Free Trade Hall.

I wasn't allowed to go unless my older sister came with me. Contrast that with when I saw them in 2003 when I couldn't read the programme because I hadn't brought my glasses with me! :laugh:

I was already in my early 40s when I first saw Fleetwood, so the allure of rock music had already begun to wear off for me.
