I told myself that it's (hopefully) just that Fleetwood Mac wants hot, younger people down in front to have a good time so they can go back and spread the word about what a great band they are.... I guess.

Yeah, this happened in Atlanta and apparently a bunch of other shows too. I agree that it's really annoying. I don't know - I'm not really a fan of the whole "moving people up" thing in concerts, unless it's a situation where there are actually empty rows or something. But letting people come up to the stage from far back in the arena just because they're young & attractive is kind of gross. I mean, it's great for the people that get to go up and I'd never begrudge them of it because it's not their fault if they get asked (and who would turn it down?) but in general it kind of skeeves me out and I do have to wonder what the purpose of it is from the band/security perspective.
