My LA Review..
 
I'm only going to give a quick recap right now, cause I'm still tired. The show was phenomenal...I felt it was much better than the Anaheim show. However, that could've been due to my fantastic seats.

I had row BBB, which I thought was 2nd row, and actually ended up being front row! There's no Row AAA on the sides, so I was very surprised by that. My cousin came with me, and he's a "casual" Fleetwood Mac fan, but he thoroughly enjoyed the show as well. The Wiltern is the coolest looking place ever. I know it's old historic theater, and I don't know how the sound was in the back, but from the front row it was great (which is unusual!)

The set was the same..A few moments from the memory, he almost started playing "GO INSANE" without doing the poem and then he stopped, and said the poem. The wife and William were there tonight. They were in the 3rd row on the left side. Kristen looked very nice, my cousin kept commenting on how "hot" she was. I agree. She seemed to be in a good mood, she was standing during fast songs, and she was singing along to "Save Me A Place."

Lindsey seemed to be in an extra good mood, and more talkative than normal. I think during about 3-4 parts of the show he stopped to "thank everyone so much for coming." We all ran to the stage for TUSK, and didn't have to sit down for the rest of the night. I don't think they were allowing this at a lot of the shows, but it looked to be people from the first 1-3 rows up at the front!

I had a nice elbows on stage spot, and surprisingly got to PLAY LINDSEY'S GUITAR during TUSK. I was the only one who played it during this song (also touched his fingers, haha, nice ring!), as usually he only does this during GYOW. I was high on Lindsey life once again! It was awesome. Maybe he remembered me from last week when I met him! Haha, yeah right. Many fans took to stomping around during TUSK, which was great...It was like elephants everywhere, kinda crazy actually..I loved it, I joined in.

So the crowd was actual pretty great, lots of cheering, and a lot of the crowd, even up top stood for the "end" of the show. I also got to play his guitar during GYOW, and a lot of other people did also. I know some on here had been saying he has normally only been letting the left side of his mic fans do that, and I didn't pay much attention in Anaheim, as I was in the very back at that show, but here he let lots of people play, left, middle, right..it was fun..

Holiday Road was definitely a crowd pleaser (my cousin LOVED this one), many people doing the barker. One couple was actually dancing right by the stage during the whole song, loved watching them, as they were having such a blast. He kept pointing at the crowd to get everyone to bark, and it worked.

I did snoop around the back of the venue, hoping to get to say hello and meet and greet again, although we could only find the bus and semi, no vans, I'm thinking that the van might be in a "garage" type area. and we probably wouldn't get to see the important ones! Maybe someone else there found them? I don't know. I wanted to makeup for last week in Anaheim when I met Lindsey and stupidly didn't get a pic with him! But, oh well I played his guitar and touched him TWICE at this show, I'm content!

I did get like 3 pics on my camera phone, I'm sure they turned out crappy, I'll post them eventually regardless..


If I think of any other cool moments, which there were plenty I'll repost later. All I can say though it was a PHENOMENAL show, worth every penny I bought those tix on Ebay for! This show goes down in my list of top shows ever! Rock on Lindsey.
