And that's just what they said when the show ended.
What an amazing night!
Wow. FM really blew me away last night. Id never been so close in concert with any of them before. It was enchanting being right there. I was grateful traffic wasnt so bad so I made it in good time. Pattie saw me when I came in and introduced herself. Pattie, you are a lovely lady!!!!! Im so plain jane hippy girl, I swear, I see people like Pattie and you are sooo elegant! We talked for a bit, then the show started after a while. No new surprises in the setlist, but just a long wait over.
Stevie looked lovely in her dress. She kept changing her shawls throughout the evening of course. I noticed the one she had on for Goodbye Baby was a lovely pink design. She had her GDW shawl, her Stand Back shawl, her Rhiannon shawl, a great topcoat too among others. I did enjoy her hair more than I thought I would. I think it looks good. Stevie seemed happy to be back home and into the moment. She spun around at least 10 times during Stand Back. During Silver Springs, she looked intentley at Lindsey and vice versa. Same with Say Goodbye. Its like you can still see it in their faces, they realize what went down. Even though time has helped that, of course, but its just what happened. I would go so far as to say Stevie looked kind of sad during Say Goodbye. TUSK was amazing. Lindsey went OFF dancing with everyone. Went to Mick's kit first, and gave it some whacks with his symbol (yet playing guitar w/his other hand like a madman), then went and did a jig with McVie who was smiling, then came over and at first cat-n-moused it with Stevie who was a bit reluctant it seemed, but then, so went into the maypole dance it was HOT! They went around and around, the crowd went wild. Then he went back and gave Mick another go before they went back into SONG! And COME OMG! LINDSEY YOU ARE DA MAN. I swear the man turned me on last night, and Ive never been into Lindsey much.
He was ripping it up, unlike Id ever seen. It was just amazing.
I dont care for Come on the album much but live really did it for me. He was screaming at the end. I enjoyed Mick's drum solo his vest looked worn. I wonder what it looked like at the beginning of the tour? Stevie would go and dance over towards him from time to time during the gig it was nice. And Mr McVie... enjoyed his playing, just wish he were out there a bit more, but then again, that's John.
Security was NOT nice. They said the band didnt like photos being taken of them up close from the first few rows, so dont take photos. I was grateful to get some shots off, enough I hope so some come out halfway decent. But after Beautiful Child, they came over to me and reamed me and said Id be kicked out if they saw me taking photos again
whatever. They were so watching me all night too, not nice. I wasnt using a flash and wasnt right in their faces. I took some more right at the end with Goodbye Baby (couldnt not do it), and then again at their bow, but I was nervous so they may not come out.
Beautiful Child. Wow. I almost cried. So incredibly touching. That was truly a dream come true, thank you Stevie so very much.
Enjoyed all the other usual suspects, GYOW, World Turning (I love the jam in this it gets me boogying), Gypsy (Pip, I danced for you!), LANDSLIDE (couldnt take ONE photo grr!) touching with Stevie hugging Lindsey from behind, Dont Stop jamming as usual and uplifting.
I enjoyed hearing Stevie sing Chris's parts on various songs. Different but familiar. Sure miss Chris though! Brett however stepped up to the plate and was hot, as was Carlos and Mick's percussionist (Miko?) Forgive me if Im not right there. Sharon and Mindy of course were in fine form, swaying to the music and adding harmony to Stevie.
Holding out for another miracle tonight... but if I cant get up close I cant spend the $$ again for a so-so ticket. I bought a camera before the gig last night so I could take good pics which set me back a bit. LOL! I saw Pattie a bit after the show, have fun tonight Lady!!! I hope to maybe see ya.
Im out of here to read the Ledge a bit, scour for tickets. Ill be back later on this afternoon with some scans of photos. I took film so I have to run to the 1 hr. *fingers crossed!* Glad I didnt tape record, I could hear fine but the sound would have been bad for a recording at that place.
