I attributed it to his wife being in the balcony. The audience seemed to create a tension that I'm sure wasn't really there. Like ooh Lindsey's talking to Stevie away from the mike's and his wife is right over there!

I saw four shows on this tour -- two in Nashville, Champaign and Knoxville. The Champaign show was my favorite.

Looking back, I remember Lindsey's great performances above all else. At the time, I was enamored with Stevie because I had never seen her live before. But overall, she lacked energy. She did, however, shine on "Beautiful Child."

I was being quiet trying to hear what they were saying. Mostly it seemed to be, "I don't know what do you think?"

"I don't know what do you think?" "Do you think we should?" "What do you think?" As they decided whether or not to do another take, which they knew they were going to do anyway.

I saw them 3x on that tour. Best part was meeting John McVie in Atlanta at the Apple store.

Many times she complained she was tired and I'd say, "keep driving. I've got to get to the Fleetwood Mac concert." I told her if she got any speeding ticket I would pay half of the fine. She got a ticket in Oklahoma City. She was driving at 90mph. (Everybody gets a ticket in OK) New Mexico weather is always unpredictable. It's a very large state and not too far from the Arizona border we had to drive through a major lightning storm with a huge downpour. It slowed us down immensly. We arrived in Phoenix after 5 days on the road and drove straight to Desert Sky Pavilion. There was no time to go home first. The band was already on stage and had just finished singing Landslide. We did not have tickets. There was a one inch crack in a wall that allowed us to peer through to see the stage. Michelle didn't care about the show. She was so exhausted from being pushed and whipped across country by me that she just went over near some bushes and started puking.
Near the end of the show I had a conversation with some stranger through that peep hole. I could see him but he couldn't see me. He seemed "interested" in me until he asked how old I was and then he vanished.
This is what I most remember about the show.

Good grief. That's quite the story. I wish Fleetwood Mac would realize how dedicated their fans are.

My story that you quoted should have been in The Dance tour stories. I made a mistake and put in in this thread by error.

We were sitting right under the balcony, so nobody around us could lip read, which was why it was so weird to me. I can understand those at the front not talking, i.e. trying to figure out what they were saying, but the whole crowd? I remember feeling uncomfortable at the time.

Oh I just remembered that when we were in New Mexico, besides that massive rain storm, it also dropped huge balls of hail on us. Michelle was afraid the windshield was gonna crack. It was awesome and scary at the same time. I love New Mexico.
