First Fleetwood Mac Concert
 
12 years ago today, I went to my first Fleetwood Mac concert:) It was in Columbus, OH at Polaris Ampitheater. I was thrilled senseless! I'd been waiting to see them for SO long! Everything about it was perfect (at least it was to me!). I was wondering if anyone else here had attended that concert or if not, what was your first concert?

I still remember just about every detail of my first F/Mac concert back in 1977,Melbourne Aust Rockarena, outdoors with many other bands like Santana played, but I just wanted to see F/Mac I was lucky to see them all hanging together sitting around drinking, in a smoke filled circus tent & having a great time before going on stage, I made my way to the front row, right in front of Lindsay & Stevie, it was unreal!!!!!

12 years ago would have been The Dance Tour.

Mine was 19 years ago - Behind The Mask... Only thing I remember was the very beginning when the stage lifted up during the intro (Behind The Mask) revealing the band members on stage. Still think that was a great intro.

Oops you are correct and I feel like a fool. I saw Columbus and flew on top of that.

My first concert was 15 years ago now, for the Time tour in Raleigh, NC... if you can call that Fleetwood Mac, which I really don't. I didn't get to see the kids again until 6 years ago in Greenville, SC. They canceled their only Carolina date for the Dance Tour, and I was 15 at the time, and couldn't drive to go see them in Atlanta or other places. However, I did get to see them 3 times on the Say You Will tour... Greenvile, SC; Greensboro, NC; and Charlotte, NC. Haven't seen them since 2004... I decided against seeing the Unleashed tour for principal reasons... which I regret, and don't at the same time. I hate I didn't get to see Storms, but I hate even more that the kids are going the oldies route :mad:.

I still regret to this day not seeing them on THE DANCE tour.

First show was in June 2003 in Tampa. ;)

My second was in June 2003 in Atlanta!! Wonderful too! Though I really missed Christine... I had much better seats for this one than in 1997!

My first Fleetwood Mac concert was in Milwaukee on June 8th of this year. I had the greatest time of my life. I'll never forget that veritably gratifying experience of gazing at the stunning goddess Stevie Nicks in the flesh and watching Lindsey, ever the fireballing guitar god, frenetically shredding his guitar on stage, hearing those legendary voices singing my absolute favorite songs live and the phenomenal instrumentation, the atmosphere which was electric with excitement, the deafening applause from the crowd --it's nothing like I'd ever experienced before and it's my fondest memory to date.

My first one was the same tour as you, the Reunion tour 1997. But at NYC, MSG. I was upstair and a bit far, but great. Specially because the whole 5 gang was there.
My 2nd and last was this year at Dallas, great cause I was stuck to the stage, just near Lindsey. It was so exciting!!

Those were my only 2 FM concerts

Excellent! I'm going to start a thread next week to see who's all going to this gig and maybe arrange a place for some of us to meet beforehand, see who's up for that....

Mine was 1987, Tampa. I lived on campus and just walked up the block to the SunDome. Awesome!
