I wish you would have been able to call me!! We had no tickets until about 7:15 that evening. We waited at the box office and the girl at the ticket counter (she's on our Christmas card list now for sure) called me over (we'd been there since 5 and she knew what we were waiting for). I was able to get three pit tickets in the 4th row and then 2 for my friend and her sister. Bob (pwyll) was also down there with us
.
To my surprise they were allowing the first 5 rows of the pit up to the stage so i was right at Stevie's mic with 4 of my Fleetwood Mac friends (if you were looking at the stage, i was to the left of the amps). It was probably the most amazing show i've ever seen and after 12....er...13? shows (Kelly...help me out here) I think it might be safe for me to say that I definately know an amazing show when I see it :P
You can most definately tell Lindsey is sad this is all ending, that's for sure. His speech before Say Goodbye was nothing less than beautiful and a reminder of just how connected the two of them will always be regardless of whether or not they're on stage together. I was a total wreck during Say Goodbye and had a hard time watching him. I felt as though I was invading some incredibly special moment and that I shouldn't have been there. Stevie was his rock last night because on more than one ocassion, the tears flowed from his eyes. She stood strong but was definately misty eyed.
Beautiful show. I don't know what else to say. Every song, every speech was totally from the heart last night. A fabulous way to end what has been an amazing ride of seeing this band once again evolve over the past year and a half. I hope we'll all be able to do it again soon
Pictures and footage soon!
