I was at the show. 7th row. All the way from Boston. Stevie was not awful. She was nervous. She was not limping. She did not favor a certain leg. She was being careful. Maybe she was a little stiff but its freakin opening night...give her some slack. Fleetwood Mac has more monitors and wires and cables on the stage then she does in her solo set. She normally enters and exits between the drummer and percussionst. She obviously needs to find another way towards the back and that would involve CAREFULLY moving around John and his stuff, Brett and his stuff, the other guitar players stuff...etc..etc..etc..She actually changed boots many times during the show. She started off with the burgundy ones...I thought she put the camel colored ones on for Rhiannon, then she changed into shorter boots, then she had the trademark black ones on. No she did not do massive twirls during Stand Back but vocally she sounded amazing and she looked amazing. She wasn't really chatty but her interaction with the audience towards the end was good. The top had for Go Your Own Way was awesome...and she was really into Silver Springs especially at the end. Everyone gets nervous for opening night and this is Fleetwood Mac...people have higher expectations for them. Mick ALWAYS walks her off stage...christ people are making it sound like she is an invalid. Go back and watch the Dance and Live in Boston...he always walks her offstage...that is his thing....anyways...just my two cents...nothing nasty.
