I also just want to throw out another huge thank you to everyone for sharing their pictures and video!!! I'm still so bummed about my forgotten camera... I cried when I realized I didn't have it but what calmed me down was knowing I could count on you all. So thank you, so very much!
Also, I wasn't around for awhile after Detroits October show but I do have some cool photos and some video and was front row on the side there so likely got some unique views and shots (notably a few of Steie turned back to Mick like she often does with her tambourine). Anyway, I would really like to share them since I'm so grateful for all of that others have shared. But since that show was so long ago, should I resurrect the post from that show, or start a new one? Just wondered what protocol was. Won't even be able to post them for at least another week and a half when I get back home from Chicago but they're definitely good ****s and video worth sharing.
And lastly, regarding my comment on sound, it may have been the location difference and my having unusually sensitive ears but I swear it was louder in Detroit. I could not speak to my uncle next to me at all meanwhile my friend and I were able to hear each other on the floor, so I'm almost certain things were lower, though I agree Micks drums were nice and loud and GYOW Johns bass hit me very clear and made me extremely happy.
Final thought for now, I agree they sound better than ever this tour, but Stevie sang the end of Silver Springs differently in Chicago than at Detroit, Detroit was the closest I ever heard her get to the really passionate raw original version that I'm absolutely obsessed with. I want to go back and compare recordings though, I do think either way though it sounds way better than in 2013. Of course I was going to focus on this song given my screenname.
And I totally second the comment made about how incredible Sisters of the Moon was in Chicago!!! I'm currently as obsessed with that song as Silver Springs and just wow, wow, wow. It was an absolute highlight for me. Really enjoyed World Turning more than ever, just really fun dancing too which really elevated the experience from sitting on the side, or in my wheelchair at previous shows. I'm amazed I was able to find the energy to dance so much anyway. But Ive said before when I've sat in accessible seating at Mac before, I've watched how many others in wheelchairs manage to get up for at least a couple songs, my joke is Fleetwood Mac cures the sick.
I drag FM cds along to hospital stays and even during procedures. I currently have two IV pumps my FM fan nurse labeled as Stevie and Christine. (Christine the IV pump fueled my dancing in Chicago
So it's also not totally a joke! With all that in mind, that's what I personally get most from shows, I have no words to describe what a profound and special experience each show has been for me. I'd almost call it a treatment. Does more for me than most meds or hospitals frankly. I'm still in post Mac concert bliss today, rocking one of my new shirts.
