Don't confuse the people on this board with the likes of 4buck and Babs McLuin, dear. I certainly wouldn't spend my hard earned money following the band around, but I don't begrudge or look down on anyone that does, especially if it brings them joy.

I went to 6 shows when they came to the UK in 2003. The fact they very rarely come here added to the need to go to multiple shows! We have to grab what we can!

I went to a few shows on each leg. I had a blast. I met some really really cool people that I am still friends with after a few years and we do things outside of FM events. So, for me, it was worth it in spades :cool:

Which part of my post are you saying was condescending? The first part definitely was not intended to be. A number of people have brought up that when they go to multiple shows there's always "something" that makes each show unique, even though it's the same songs played in the same order in the same arrangements, and I was asking what that something is. And a few people offered some answers, whether it was one band member just being more or less "on" or even just having different seats. Hey, if that does it for you and you've got that kind of money, more power to you.

The second part of my post wasn't really meant to be condescending, per se, but yeah, I thought a couple of responses were a bit over-the-top in the level of adoration for various band members. I certainly not taking issue with it as some kind of problem or calling out people to justify themselves, I'm just saying I find it a little out there.

Actually, I could justify going to a lot of Mac shows just to hear McVie change up the bass lines in the songs. John is probably 40% of why I go see Fleetwood Mac.

John is just greatness :nod:

Definitely, great man and amazing bass player. :nod:

Not worth hundreds of my dollars, though. Once or twice a tour is enough for me. :laugh:

I saw them 4 times on the SYW tour, discouraged from seeing more only by geography. I think the "what if" point has been made, but I was so excited to be in the audience during the second Houston show where she led the entire amphitheater in the last part of "Landslide". She seemed really tickled, and she hadn't done it at any of the previous 3 shows. Of course, a better time to ask me this question would be when I'm standing up front, the crickets come on, and I hear the first notes of "The Chain". I think the expression on my face would say it all. :nod:

Woodlands show!!
 

I hear ya; same here. Plus he's a cutie patootie. :woohoo:

I know that many of you are comforted by their music in general, but I am comforted too, by the familiarity of it all. I know the set list, I know what Stevie and Lindsey will say, and I like it.

That's why we like songs that we know the words to...FAMILIARITY. And why we see a movie more than once. I'd rather do something (concerts, experiences, etc.) than regret I never had the chance. The prices are very high, and many of us can't fit it in to the budget. And, if you consider flying to a show...wellll...that's quite expensive.

That being said, I paid $277 for a round trip flight to Las Vegas and 4 nights at the Excaliber Hotel!!! Quite worth it!!! And...MY BOYFRIEND WANTS TO MARRY ME IN VEGAS!!! Thank you Fleetwood Mac. :xoxo:

Yay! Woodlands totally rocked. Though, I had a blast in Dallas too. Not sure why you had such a bad time. The people around Stevie and me were great!

OMG - that is FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!

You MUST post pics from the 24 hour wedding chapel!!!!!! :)
