Mostly because I couldn't see them. Then later on when Stevie was singing "Rhiannon", some drunk girl was standing up the whole time while we were all sitting down. She was swaying her ass back and forth to the music and I wanted to see Stevie and couldn't. My sister tried tapping her on her back to ask her to move but she wouldn't budge. I pouted for the rest of the night. When after they sang "Don't Stop", we headed towards the door to leave and I told my sister to wait because I knew that Chris would be singing "Songbird". We stood outside the main lobby I guess you call it, and at that moment my heart stopped. Christine sounded so beautiful. Her voice made everyone just shut up in the whole auditorium. I smiled and said that that was just what i needed to hear. She made you feel at ease and peacefull when she sang that song that it just brought you to your knees.
That was my first Mac concert. I made up for all the time I lost (because of the drunk girl) by seeing them in 2003 with floor seats. Too bad Chris wasn't with them. I would've liked to have heard "Songbird" from inside the auditorium for once.

Your experience sounds a lot like mine! My first FM concert was October 1997 for The Dance tour. I also had terrible seats and since I'm really short, I couldn't see a thing when anyone stood. I did my best to see what I could. Some jerk girl sitting behind us and to the right talked loudly to her friends during every song that wasn't sung by Stevie. Considering I was wanting to hear Lindsey and Christine, I felt like slapping the girl!
I had better seats for the Say You Will tour. They weren't floor seats, but maybe the next level up. I still had trouble with people standing during the last four songs, but I was just happy to be there at that point.
