I will be there! I saw Stevie solo (actually with Don Henley) in 2005 but this will be my first time seeing the whole Mac. Emphasis on the whole Mac -- super excited I will have the privilege of seeing them with Christine!

Oh, tell us what the band says to him about his birthday. I can't wait to hear. I suppose Mick has to mention it during the band intro, at the very least.

A very Happy Birthday to our favorite guitar player and male singer in Fleetwood Mac.

i don't remember the band saying anything to him last year either, even Mick during intros. Mick was addressing other things with his "he's the man" in Glasgow, not LB's bday, necessarily.

however, as far as i know, at both solo or FM shows if it was his bday, audience always yelled happy bday, held signs, and sang the "happy bday" song, unprompted. read the reviews from last year in Glasgow - they were all about the "birthday boy" and how he received impromptu happy bday singalong from 12 000 people sold out arena.

at LB's solo show in Jacksonville, Oct 3, 2011, as soon as he came out, before he could even pick up his guitar, everybody started singing happy bday. in Glasgow, people held signs since the start of the show, and then when LB started introducing Big Love and was alone on the stage, numerous people started yelling all across the orchestra and lower ball "happy bday Lindsey!" and then the whole Glasgow audience started singing. he said "don't remind me!".

i suspect he may say to the band that he doesn't want them to acknowledge his bday, but he clearly enjoyed and basked in the happy birthday singalongs at both occasions described above. it has to feel special when the huge arena and tens of thousands of people know that it's your birthday and feel the need to celebrate with you, however much you personally may not be into making a big deal out of it.


but actually, according to some facebook posts, someone in the band actually did say something to Lindsey on the stage:

"When Lindsey was playing near Christine (maybe during Go Your Own Way?) she said happy birthday to him. He didn't hear and leaned in and she shouted it again.They both were smiling so much! It was such a sweet little moment!"
