Default Most memorable Fleetwood Mac concert

Well,this isnt a tough one for me. October 3, 1997, Riverfront Colesium, Cincinnati Ohio. After having waited for 20 years,I drove the 700 miles from Minneapolis to see them live for the first time. The feeling I had when they walked onto the stage is something I wont ever forget. Also, I vividlyremember all the Lindsey birthday signs everyone was holding up. What a night!!!!!!!!

Detroit, 2004. Final show of the SYW tour.

Stood at Stevie's feet for the entire show - got a special handshake and exchanged a few words with her. Caught Lindsey staring at me which made him smile, which made me smile. And just revelled in seeing them together one more time... hoping it wouldn't be the last time...

...and didn't you have a "mystery admirer" leave you a note before that show?

The most memorable Mac concert was definitely the Dance tour show I saw in 97. I was only 7 years old and I still remember a lot of it. Even though the show wasn't too great set list wise it was still worth it to see Christine.

That's easy...the Calgary show on the SYW tour last July. I was in the 3rd row, but managed to push my way up to the front for the last third of the concert. I was able to give Stevie a portrait I drew of her and she thanked me, got a rose from her mic stand, made eye contact with Lindsey through the whole show, got one of his sweaty towels (which I know some people think that's gross, but I love it!) AND Lindsey mouthed the words "you're beautiful" to me right before the last song, "Goodbye Baby" where he did not take his eyes off me while he sang back-up on the chorus.

Best goddam night of my life!!!!

Yeah, that sounds like a pretty perfect night! And you reminded me... at my Detroit show I mentioned above, I also got the ribbons off Stevie's mic at the end of the show. How the heck did I forget that??? It was the perfect icing on an already spectacular night. *sigh*

Yeah, you're getting three from me, too.

Bridgeport, CT-SYW, 2003
Because it was my very first front row experience and it was amazing. I was in the perfect position between Stevie and Lindsey and even though, before the concert, I thought I would be overwhelmed--I wasn't. I was just standing there in awe, drinking every second of it in--and it was like the entire audience disappeared and I was getting a personal concert.
Plus, at one point, Lindsey saw me taking pictures and was trying to "pose" for a second, and I kept snapping the shutter at the wrong moment--which he seemed to find amusing.
It was a fabulous concert and I was just in seventh heaven.

Jones Beach, SYW, 2004
Because Stevie was making a comeback of sorts, after being ill and having to cancel a few shows. It was the freakiest concert--weather-wise. It was so cold and a bit rainy but you forgot all about it when they hit that stage and Stevie was so "on." Plus, to me, that was the best performance of Sara that I saw--outdoors--by the water--with Stevie being her Royal Stevieness. The weather actually added a whole other dimension to things--big old drama in to an already dramatic concert.


Camden, 2004
Again--front row--and some of the canned speeches were...well, canned...in favor of words from the heart and some of the songs were ultra-emotional. It was wonderful. Plus, that whole day was my personal greatest day as far as interaction with the band (talked and/or met Mick, Stevie and Lindsey)...so, it holds SUCH a place in my heart.

May 2003, Birmingham, Alabama---my first FM concert ever, though I've been a fan since I was a little girl....Somehow, despite the fan club debacle, I managed to get front row seats, which were situated directly in front of Stevie. I nearly cried when they walked onstage, truly overwhelming for a fan of so many years finally getting to see her heros! Of course, it would've been 100% perfect if only Christine had been there too.

May 2004, Nashville, TN---I paid big $$$$$ for second row seats for my daughter and me, and we moved up to the stage right at Lindsey's feet for the entire show. My daughter, who was only 6 at the time, proceeded to flirt with him (winking, grinning, etc.) throughout the show, and since I had to hold her on my hip the entire time, we got lots of eye contact with him. (it took a couple of weeks for the feeling to return in my hip!) He even reached out for her so that she could grab his hand! I got Lindsey's autograph on Tusk, and when we left to go to our car, it was pouring!!! My daughter and I stomped through the mud while I held the autograph under my shirt with one hand, and her hand with the other one. One of the best nights of my life. Great mother/daughter memory that we'll never forget. (wish my mom had been as cool as me )

I'm ready to do it again. My credit card is paid off....let's get busy, guys.....
