Meet & Greet

thanks for taking the time and describing it so informatively to us, SadAngel! wish others who go to m&gs would share what was discussed at q&as, as these are questions we all want to hear about. glad to hear he was asked about the state of the new album and dickdash blog!

seems that m&g is basically the same as last year, except with added 1 hr time-waste upfront and extra pic/drumhead. one can now appreciate grndctrl for having a bit more respect for people's time than this year's organizer.

while i completely agree with you about autographs and memorabilia, if you followed what has been happening with Mac concert tickets the last 2 tours, you would know that most people are not going to these m&gs to meet Mick or get his autograph, but as the only surefire way to get some amazing tickets for prices cheaper than scalper or platinums. the added bonus is they get to ask Mick a few questions about the band that all of us want to know answers to. and to stand on the FM stage in some huge arena.

but yes, when Mick said in a recent interview how he made a million last year just from m&gs (so he will probably make 2 this year!), i was thinking how much of that money should really go to either LB or SN (and this year i'd think also CM). i know tons of LB fans who paid those crazy prices, and not just once - both last year and this - just so they can be close to the stage and get to experience LB in concert same as SadAngel did (see some of her quotes below). she said it was one of the best evenings in her life! that's what she probably paid for, not to meet Mick - and LB is practically gifting that money to Mick. maybe he can sign it off as charity at the end of the year.

The Show:

Let me first say this, getting to stand in front of your favorite band member the entire night is an absolute dream!! I'd never been in the front for a concert in my entire life and I couldn't believe I was getting to do it for Fleetwood Mac with Christine!

so happy you had such great time SadAngel!

yeah, it's nice to have that confirmed.
