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

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:

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.

25, 5 months ago :rolleyes:

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

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:

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.

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

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

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.

17, in October last year.

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

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 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 :)

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

I Was 16 for the Unleashed Tour
First concert ever

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.

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.

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

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.:]

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.

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

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:)

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:

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

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

Well, me too, exactly.

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

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?

14

May 1973 Manchester Free Trade Hall

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:

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

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

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

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.

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!

17, last May in San Diego.

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!!

I was 16 when I saw Stevie for the first time (Rock A Little)
17 when I saw the Tango In the Night Mac
22 when I saw Lindsey OOTC
26 when I saw The Dance Mac

14, 3 Months ago. :D

16, Tango tour 1987
