It was a great show! They left it all on the stage and I agree with the comment that they seemed to feed off of the crowd. I was right up there with loud whistling. The standing ovation for Christine was awesome - seemed like 5 minutes and she seemed truly humbled by it. I have a few pics from my iPhone, not great quality but a sampling that I think sums up the show. There were times that it seemed like Christine was looking directly at me! Yes, I'm probably delusional ha ha!

Looks like you were straight left of us! We were on the aisle in front of LB. We (our tickets) were 15th row, then I found us two empties in the 10th row, which no one ever claimed. BUT, we made friends with the security guard, who invited us up to 3rd row!

I know people here think I'm an ass, and that's okay... So, I was wearing a Fender(guitar) T-shirt, and the security guard motioned me to come to him, where he said, "All Fender people are seated in the back of the balcony! You need to leave!" And I said, "No, all Gibson people are in the back, and you need to go back there!" A few songs into their set, he pointed at me and "Michelle2677"(she's still a huge fan, but left here a few years ago), and told us we could come up to the 3rd row, at least until his supervisor came around. After the show, we made our way thru the crowd, to shake his hand and give him a hug. Literally the best show of my life.

Awww. It gives one goose flesh. And in a rare burst of foresight, FM knew how to capitalize on the love for Christine. I think it was brilliant the way they sequenced the setlist so as soon as she started with YMLF the crowd would roar. It must be a wonderful sensation for her, but as an audience member, I get sweeped up on the excitement as well.

I wish she'd never have left, but the joy of seeing her again when I never thought we would is something that cannot be paralleled. I was online for a long time, but I didn't get online for FM until about 2003 and yours and Gail's posts on Christine were among the first I ever read.

Her longtime fans are getting such a gift and she's making new fans too, after all this time.

Also, I love that picture of Lindsey you snapped.

Yes indeed, it is a dream come true! And I don't mean this in any way disrespectful, but I wish I could see them in concert for the price of a ticket we used to pay, or at least somewhat comparative. I know the times have changed, but it also seems like somewhat of a "corporate ripoff".

And I wait for the sound of my gypsy, back to the floor I love, in a room with some lace and paper flowers.........simpler easier times. I know it's two separate songs, but I feel they are connected.

Fleetwood Mac: The Mac is back!


Last Tuesday, Banker’s Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis played host to legendary rock band Fleetwood Mac in the 12th show of their tour – another sold out show.

The band, back to the original five with the return of Christine McVie after 16 years, reminded the sold out crowd why they were such big fans of the band for such a long time.


The nearly 3-hour long concert was filled with hits from the past as well as hits of the future.

As the lights went out the shouts and applause began. Chimes were heard and then the foot drum played by Mick Fleetwood slowly began to play. Everyone knew what was coming when Lindsey Buckingham started on the guitar, we all knew what song it was, “The Chain,” a hit from their album “Rumors.”

They followed with several more hits back to back all evening.

Age has nothing on this band as these “youngsters at heart” thrilled the crowd and sounded incredible. They sang, danced, jumped and moved around the stage as if time had stood still for the past 40 years.

I have been at concerts of artists in their 20s on up and this concert was one of the best, if not at the top.

Stevie Nicks, 66 and Christine McVie, 71, can still belt it out like no one else with their amazing vocal talents.

From Mick Fleetwood’s entertaining antics on the drums during “World Turning” to John McVie’s steadiness on the bass to Lindsey Buckingham’s unbelievable abilities on the guitar all across the stage, the band put on a show to remember.

I'm so glad I got the reminder that I'm a such a big fan. I almost forgot!

Those are just from my crappy 3+ year old android phone. I do email them to myself, then try to clean them up with Photoshop. I took about 50, and probably 20-25 are decent.

And BTW, neither of us could get good pics of Chris. The blond hair and the lighting was just "washing out" her face, washing away all the definition. The distant shots are okay, but the closer ones are ALBINO!

That happened to me. During Songbird, her head just looked like a big light bulb behind that piano.

Your pictures capture the stage backdrop and the singers in front of it rather nicely.

But it doesn't seem to happen to Stevie as badly...

Thanks. Here are a few more....
And I'm obviously no photog! Just a guy holding a beer in one hand, and a POS phone in the other!
