omigod. My first concert was Sean Cassidy, in Columbia SC around 1978. I never usually admit that though! I don't even really remember it. I was like 10 years old or something. It was actually several years later when I went to my first "real" concert - INXS around 1987 or 88. That's the concert I normally say was my first!

First FM wasn't until 1997.

I was at that show also. Both of them. Didn't Stevie sing Silent Night, or am I delusional? I don't recall Lindsey being at either of them, but he was at one of the BTM shows in Oakland.

And I don't remember a thing about the Wild Heart show I attended either except that Joe Walsh opened-----crappy I know

I do remember having nose bleed seats for both though

And I think Men at Work opened for the Mac on the Mirage tour!! LMAO!! You are lucky that you can say your first concert was the Mac!! My first concert was Journey with Pat Benatar and Eddie Money opening...... not that that is a bad thing but I would rather have had it be the Mac--and if my big brother would have been NICE and taken me to the Tusk show that he went to........ well that is another story. I cried that night when he went and wouldn't take me--he did buy me a shirt though--I guess that is something.......

It's weird, but I remember the oldest shows more than the recent ones. My first Fleetwood Mac concert was also on the Mirage tour, at the Centrum in Worcester, MA. It's still seared in my brain. Men At Work did open for them!
The show was sold out and they were fantastic. The audience went crazy for them. And the set list was pretty good. I still have my ticket stub. Unfortunately, I let a friend borrow the tour T-shirt I bought (no tour books

), and she eventually lost it.

I'm grateful I got to see them --just the five of them -- without 8 other musicians.

My first show was Mirage also. Men At Work was supposed to open for them, but that show was postponed. By the time FM came back for the rescheduled show, it was the dreary Glenn Frey.

I have to agree with you....FM were, in my opinion, much better when the only extra person on stage was Ray Lindsey during GYOW.

FM wasnt actually on my 'concert list' of bands to see back in the 80's-90's (I would have seen 'em in 1997 had they played OKC).

Back in the 70's I was still a punk kid who had no way to see em unless my oldest brother was able to take me along (Up until the July 1,2003 show, The last time FM played Oklahoma to my knowledge was OKC in 1980. The rumor I heard was that the 1982 show in OKC was cancelled due to a riot breaking out pre-show, but I never been able to verify if that did occur.)
