I was there! We should've arranged ahead of time to meet for a soda or something....or just arranged to meet just for the sake of meeting in person. Oh, well. (as Peter Green would say)
Only floor monitors at the front of the stage were in front of Lindsey...what LOOKED from audience side like monitors in front of Stevie were, in fact, monitor screens that scrolled the song lyrics, they were testing them about 2 hrs before showtime (saw those since I got there early and wandered around the inside of the Forum, since it was the first time I'd been there since the remodel, I walked around a bit).
For as much as I've been the unofficial "Curmudgeon of the Ledge", I enjoyed the show. Got a bit teary when Chris sang the first line of "You Make Loving Fun", it's been so long...and I certainly had waterworks during "Songbird". I could related to J. McVie's comment in the "Coming Home" documentary when he said that he would cry during "Songbird" quite often. For me, the highlight was "Little Lies".
It was the 10th time I'd seen Fleetwood Mac at the Forum...first time since the final show of the Behind The Mask tour in '90. It marked somewhere about the 90th Fleetwood Mac related show (combining band & all members solo shows, too) I've seen. (lost track of the actual count...somewhere close to 70 Fleetwood Mac shows)
