Before I get to the title of my post, I just wanted to thank every one for the amazing photos and videos that y'all took...they're great!
I got food poisoning the night before the concert, so I felt really weak, but I dragged myself down to MSG anyway, although I didn't have a ticket yet.
My boyfriend sensibly tried to dissuade me from going, but I had to go.
I would drag my carcass to see Fleetwood Mac if it were my last dying act.
I kept hitting the box office to see what opened up (last time at MSG, my friend and I scored 10th row about 2 hours before the show), but nothing came through.
Long story short, I got in for free, because a really nice guy and his wife had a corporate box seat halfway up on Lindsey's side, and two of his clients didn't show up, so he decided to give the tix away to two lucky people for free.
(Thanks, Anthony!)
Sometimes the Almighty Ones, in their wisdom, know what's best for you, even if you don't. The box seat was a blessing...I was so weak, that even if I got front row, I wouldn't have been able to stand for long, so it was good to be able to just sit and enjoy the show until FM healed me about a third of the way through, and I got my strength back.
I have to say, it was one of the best Mac shows I've ever been to. They had an awesome time, and so did we.
An odd note: Did anyone else notice this?
During one the rocking-out songs at the end (I forget which, it might have been GYOW or Don't Stop), I noticed a half-dozen people or more on the floor, on Stevie's side, stage right.
Even seen those googly alien-antennas you can slip on your head for Halloween?
Well, all these people were wearing what looked like dragon or lobster headbands....they were red, with giant googly eyes sticking straight out from the top. They were all bopping their heads in unison. Stevie had to look to her right, down on the floor, to see them. When she did, they all smiled and waved.
She turned away, and they started removing the headbands. One woman collected all of them, and the people started disappearing backstage. It was then I realized they were all FM crew!
I think it was a great/ funny prank... did anyone else catch this?
