I was in the middle of the floor (I think the furthest back I've ever been for a FM concert). Interesting experience. In many ways, it was fun because I don't think I ever saw the details of the stage before. The drawback: I had to look at the monitor many times because people in front of me were just too tall. Not their fault...I seem to be shrinking in height.
Anyway, got to see a few dear friends before the show and had a nice crowd around me during the show. From the middle--it seemed like the whole Garden was really into the show and that almost everyone in the front stood. I guess I was wrong about that. I stood as long as physically possible. I have issues with my leg and had to sit from time to time but I had nice folks around me who didn't judge
Actually, I 'm joking because that's the reason I stopped going to MSG for a while (didn't even know it was renovated until Monday!)--because of some of the crowd that seems to go there. They spend a ton of money to see a show but they don't seem at all into it. OR, they are so drunk they can't see straight, and ruin everyone else's good time.
I have said (right here on this very Ledge) that I didn't miss Christine post-The Dance (even though I had never seen her live). Well, oh, dopey me. I really, really, really loved her. And I think the whole band was just...complete...if that makes any sense. And, from where I was standing, at the end, I thought they gave the biggest ovations of the night to both McVie's, which was really nice.
