2017 was a great Fleetwood Mac year for me. I got to see Stevie solo 3 times and went to 1 BuckVie show. Well technically my Nashville Stevie show was in 2016, but it was November so I'm counting it! This was also my first time seeing any of the Mac live. I became a fan during the OWTS Tour, much later than a lot of people here. However, funds weren't great during 2014-2015, so I didn't get to see FM. I honestly thought that I may never see any of them live. Then, Stevie announced the 24 Karat Gold Tour, and I was absolutely over the moon! This tour was phenomenal and more than I could have ever asked for! Stevie sounded great, the stage was gorgeous, and I could never thank her enough for bringing out songs like Bella Donna/Wild Heart and CITN. My favorite Stevie tour memory happened at the St. Charles, MO show. During her Edge tambourine walk, I waved at Stevie and she noticed me and waved back! Then, we had the glorious Buckingham McVie album! I truly do not think there is a bad song on this album. Even SATC, which I hated at first, has grown on me. Lindsey and Christine really make magic together! I went to the St. Louis show and had one of the best nights of my life. I made my way to front row during Feel About You and stayed there for the remainder of the show. The energy was electrifying and Chris and Linds killed it! I never thought I would get to hear Hold Me live. It's in my top 5 of FM songs, and I'm so thankful that they put it in the set! Highlights from this night were when I shouted, "I love you Christine!" and she blew me a kiss! I also got to strum Lindsey's guitar during GYOW which was amazing! Lastly, as I was leaving the venue and walking to the parking garage, Christine's car was exiting and she rolled down her window to say goodbye! I'm so happy that I got to interact with my favorite musicians; it means the world to me. Sorry this is so long, but 2017 was memorable for me, and I absolutely cannot wait for what 2018 has in store!
