PERFECT write-up!!!!!!! Thank you, michele!!!! Last night I was hoping you were there so that we could get one of your beautiful pieces of reportage.
My initial response: Storms and Say You Love Me were back-to-back revelations. Much will be written and discussed about these, the highlights of the show.
Lindsey fired on all cylinders on all songs (an "Oh Well" for the record books).
Stevie excelled during Sara (what an exit), Storms (of course), Gold Dust Woman, Silver Springs, while Dreams, Rhiannon, Gypsy seemed lackluster to me. Stand Back was fun.
Almost no rapport between Stevie and Lindsey (despite HIS efforts). Strange. Yet, their styles complimented each other. She was very regal. He was like the court jester.
No banter between them. Little talking to the crowd on Stevie's part (except for a "hello, pennsylvania" opening and a brief intro to "Storms" for old-time and future Mac fans). Lindsey said a few things but nothing of note to me (except that during rehearsals it had been a real blast).
The lighting effects and moving screens were awesome, especially when they shone bright red -- the same color as Lindsey's shirt, peaking out from his leather jacket. VERY THEATRICAL. Very effective.

Fleetwood Mac helped me through a time of heartbreak. 12 years later, they broke my heart.
