LA Forum Show April 14, 2015
 

Last night's show was another great one. I swear, I don't know where these people get their energy.
I had front row along with 5 other friends and we had the best time. We are all big Stevie fans so we spent our night in between Stevie and Christine. Security seemed to let more people up this time around because it was a little more crowded. In fact, I told the girl behind me to please back up a little if she could as I felt I was about to be violated with her pushing up against me. :rolleyes: I have some decent photos I took with my cell phone. You can see some of them on my Instagram page (@jkmaletic). More importantly, I got video of a few songs with my trusty Flipcam I brought. I am currently uploading those to Youtube and will post links on this thread.
One of the friends I was with is close to Stevie, so Stevie pointed at her at times during the show. During Gypsy, Stevie slowly pointed at all of us (which I have on video that I can't wait to show you guys!). It was major cool. :D Christine said something to me during Tusk that I couldn't make out because of the light behind her, but my friend told me she was just singing "Don't say that you love me" at me. She has this on video which I have yet to see. My friends mad a really cute poster that said "McVie/Nicks 4 President 2016" which they laid on the stage. Chris and Stevie both kept looking at it trying to read it, smiling. Ultimately, my friend brought it backstage after the show. I can't wait to hear about what Stevie thought of it.
During ISA, Lindsey made his way over to our side and played above us. He definitely responds to the cheering fans right underneath him. His eyes were practically closed but I know he saw me because he inched closer and smiled after I said, "Yeah Lindsey!" while he was playing. His foot was right in front of me so I touched his boot. :laugh: I also got to strum his guitar, if doing so on the top part of the neck-thingy counts. HA.

All in all a very fun night and I'm glad I went.

Videos to come..
Oh - no Seven Wonders but Songbird was back again.

Jamie-It sounds like you had a great experience and they didn't hassle you for WC verification. That is incredible.

Glad that you weren't violated:laugh:.

Don't say that you love me? Christine is so into it when she's not singing. I liked when she returns to the stage for the end of World Turning, she stops in front of Brett. Brett is activating the recorded Lindsey voice and Christine waves her hands at him as if she is a conductor, for a moment, until it is time to her to walk back to her place.

All night long, she keeps bouncing around and singing constantly, even when the spotlight is not on her.

I hope you guys like my videos. I took most of them because my wife couldn't be with me at the show last night. It was the least I could do for her.

I haven't really watched any videos from this tour since the first date or two, and I have to say, I'm surprised at how well Stevie's voice is holding up. Normally at this point in a grueling tour her voice starts to sound very ragged, thin, and shrieky. I can tell she's avoiding the highest notes, but she's still got a great tone. I think Sisters sounds better than it did 2 years ago when it was resurrected, and Silver Springs honestly sounds better than ever. Color me impressed!

If anything, it actually sounds like Christine's voice has improved since the earliest shows! I guess she's gotten her stage legs back fully. :D

I love the smiles from Stevie and Chris, too. They are just beaming. I'm really glad I watched the videos from these LA dates. It's nice to see some good news from this band from time to time. :)

girlpower, i like that. right order too, McVie as president! ;)

Awesome Jamie, thanks for sharing.. I had the best morning rocking out to your videos.. I cant wait to see them in Brisbane in Nov:blob1:
