October 19, Berlin - Any Czech fan goes there?

[Matthew]

Hi, I´d like ask if here is some Czech fan, who goes to this concert next week.
I´ll be there, I still can´t believe it... If you tell me last year, that Fleetwood Mac will tour again I´d laugh to that... and if you tell me that they will come to Europe... I´d laugh much more... and it´s true!!! Isn´t it dream?

So, anyone here (also German or another fan), write here that we´ll be there together .

But as always, there is something wrong... where is Christine? Where?

[Matthew]

So, except me, there is no Ledgie, who will be there in Berlin?

I´d like to tell you also, how much money I spent on all this stuff, because it´s not a little...

1) ticket to the concert: 93 EUR, plus 42 EUR for eventim.de because of the delivery from Berlin to Prague
2) ticket for train from Prague to Berlin: 30 EUR (discount because of paying through the internet)
3) ticket for train from Berlin to Prague: 53 EUR (there is no discount because it´s Euro Night, not Euro City, so this is normal price)

So I paid 218 EUR... I hope it will be worth it

How much money do you guys spent for your ticket somewhere else? It´s the same price in whole Europe or not?

It sounds like you got off cheaply! Dublin tickets are 132 euros! you don't want to know how much my transportation costs will be.

[Matthew]

Wow, hm, well, probably it is cheaper in Germany, because Fleetwood Mac isn´t so famous there. They are much more popular in England, maybe that´s why. If it would be more expensive in Germany, maybe some people wouldn´t buy a ticket.

So how much money you´ll spent for transport?

But you know, I don´t realy know how to compare that correctly, but there is still big difference of wealth of ordinary people in West and East Europe, I mean that Czech Republic is post-communist. People on the West earn much more. And also, I´m just student... , but I didn´t have problems to find that money, I have brigade-work, and I had spared money.

It will really be amazing day and night. I was in Berlin only once, but I was just a kid, I was about 14 or something like that, and it was with school and I couldn´t do anything alone, and I don´t exactly remember many things. What I wanted to say is that Berlin is very big city for me. There are three times more people than in Prague. And as you could know from my account, I´m interested in public transport, so the second thing I´m looking forward to, is that I´ll try to use that big and mature (that´s typicall in German) system of U-Bahn, S-Bahn, MetroTram, MetroBus... etc.

Well, I don´t want to glut this thread with this cackle, which isn´t interested for you. But it´s just my feelings.

So probably I´d be only one who could write here something about that show, so be prepare to my critical report .

[Matthew]

I was there!!!! I still can´t believe it... it´s like a dream I had last night.
The moment when Stevie and Lindsey came to the stage was magical.

I took some pictures and videos, so I´ll share it, be patient.

But it was funny that my age was very underaverage there... so many couples in their 50s I´d say.

It was great show!! Lindsey is king, Stevie is in really good shape, sounds very good, Mick is just crazy, and John... anytime I looked at him I thought about Christine...

The concert was absolutely same as you know (awesome), so I don´t have to write stories about that.

But after the show, I went with bunch of people to the place, where they left the arena. So we thanks there to each other once more and that´s it.

The couple of hours after that I was very sad, because man is thinking about it months and once come there to see it, it´s like five minutes and it´s over. That´s unbelievable.

And I have to say too, that there was no song I wouldn´t enjoy, really. Just great music. I was really born in wrong time... (and also in wrong place)

It´s interesting, that I´m the only one talking about this show here. Because I´m not from Berlin, even from Germany, but Czech Republic. I´d say that most of people there were from Berlin. I heard only German.

I had a great time, I forgot about everything else and enjoy the music (hope as the rest of the audience). It´s kind of medicine. You really don´t care about anything there... I wish it would never stopped.

Thanks for the review! I'm rather surprised that there are no Ledgies in Berlin; it's quite bizarre, actually, considering all of the people who attended the Dutch, Belgian and Scandinavian shows.

I can understand your feeling of loss all too well. You get excited by the anticipation of the show, and then when the show is over, you start to go into FM withdrawal, and you need another Mac attack! It's like eating potato chips. In some ways I think the shows are rather anticlimactic- the real rush is in the speculation and the build up to the event itself. It really makes no sense at all since the setlists and shows are identical and completely choreographed... but there is something very exciting about sharing a couple of hours of your life with people that have had such a profound impact on your life for so many years. I am 12 years old again when I hear some of these songs for the umpteen thousandth time. The passage of time is sad... but when you see that they are still up there, still looking great and still making great music, it somehow makes it all okay.
