Wow, this was even better then Antwerp !
I was perhaps 4 rows further back, but still whitin 3 or 4 metres from the stage.
In Rotterdam they always have those barriers, so (different then Antwerp), we all were a little more back.
I arrived around half past 5 at the venue and had only a 100 people in front of me. Standing in a line, I discovered that I was not the only nutcase who was attending twice in a row.
The partyvibe was already there and the hall got the right atmosphere as soon as everybody entered. Maybe it's because at was general admission and everybody tried to get as close as possible.
The show itself rocked. Okay, it was scripted (as we discussed before overhere) but it rocked. Sound was ok (for Ahoy-circumstances) and everybody was in a good mood.
Lindsey still plays the guitar as a maniac and Stevie looked radiant again.
It was sold out (I believe) and the whole floor was dancing. Looked at the rings a couple of times and saw people sitting with a poor guy or girl standing and dancing in a calm section...
I spotted a second drummer hidden behind Mick Fleetwood, why isn't he mentioned in the thank you's ?????
When Mick introduced the band, a guy behind me was pretty sure that Lorri Nicks was Stevie's daughter...I couldn't let that go and corrected him...so there were also people who where wondering were Christine McVie (pronounced as McVai) was....
Alas I had the time of my life. No regrets that I went twice.
Personal highlights: Never Going Back Again, Big Love, So Afraid, Stand Back, Gold Dust Woman, Second Hand News..alas the complete show :-)
