I'm not one to really post anything - but I need to post my personal review here. Need to get it off my chest - or I might exlode..
Last night was truly magical and absolutely amazing!
I'm from Vienna (Austria), went to Berlin on Monday on my own, arrived just in time to get to the concert.. and left the next day (today). Man, that probably were the most stressful 24 hours of my life so far, but soo worth it.
Alright - so there I was, at the O2 Berlin venue.. I had a 5th row seat, pretty much in front of the stage. I read in one of the reviews from one of the European shows that someone got to be right in front of the stage all night? Well, the same thing happened to me last night. I was sitting there, way too anxious for the concert to start (and crying, might I add, because I was more than happy to be there, been waiting the last 8 years to get to see them live (I'm only 18), and with Stevie being one of my three music heroes and role models, I was overwhelmed with emotions..).. so anyway! One of the security/service people came up to the people sitting in the first couple of rows and asked if anyone wanted to leave their seats to go right in front of the stage.. which I immediately did. So yeah - I spent the entire show, all 2 1/2 hours, pretty much right in front of Lindsey, aaaand to unleash the inner fangirl, got to touch his hand! (I was the one with glasses, wearing the custom-made black T-Shirt that had "Stevie Nicks" on it.. sorry if I annoyed anyone with my screaming and cheering.. just couldn't hold it back.)
Lindsey was on fire, Stevie sounded absolutely perfect and looked sizzling hot (hellooo boobies
), John was adorable as always and Mick was.. well, just his crazy, wonderful, loveable self.
Aah, I still can't believe it's already over. They were soo good. Noticed Lindsey saying "see you next time" at the end of the show, which gives me hope that I miiiight get to see them again, someday.
I can't get over how beautiful Stevie sounded, last night..
Some fun facts about yesterday (they amused me, anyway).. when Mick left his drums for the first time and actually got in front of the stage, raised his hands to cheer, he noticed that his fly was unzipped. I don't know if that is one of his schticks, but he seemed like it surpised him. I just love how he grinned after he noticed.
Another little tidbit that I loved was.. right before they began with "Oh Well", Lindsey asked one of the security people standing right by the stage if he could remove the some sort of barrier they had that kept people from being RIGHT in front of the stage, since he wanted us to get as close as "possible".. the security guy answered with a simple, rude "No.".. so Lindsey sort of rolled his eyes and was all like.. "Well, thank you very much.." and when he began playing "Oh Well" and sang ".. don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to" he pointed right at the security guy, obviously still pissed off.
Right at the very end before Mick said that he had two more things he'd like to mention (take care of yourself & take care of all the other people around you, which I found extremely sweet) and did his trademark "the Mac is back" - he made a comment about a guy (or "chap" as Mick put it
) in the audience who apparently held up some sign mentioning Christine the entire show.. so Mick said that they miss her just as much as we do.. which I thought was a sweet moment, too.. with all the people cheering for Christine, at that moment..
Mmkay - I think I got a little bit carried away, and I don't know if any of the things mentioned above are new or happen at every show (I've not been following reviews for this tour so far..) - but if any of it puts a smile on anyone, I'm glad.
Oh - and Matthew - I feel for you. I miss them already.
