Los Angeles Forum 12/6/14

[Lisa W]

I was at the Forum show tonight and have to say it was Lindsey's night. He really seemed on fire and the I'm So Afraid ovation was fantastic! Overall, I'm really loving the sound in this venue. Tonight was special for me as it is 35 years to the day that I first saw FM in concert - at the LA Forum!!. It was also great driving there in a full moon. That totally added to the atmosphere.

There was a lot of good interaction between the band members that I was able to capture in photos. Stevie and Lindsey are really getting along tonight. The embrace after NGBA was back and Lindsey seemed to take his time with it...

I've also never noticed the little dance that Stevie does in front of Mick during the guitar solo in Silver Springs. I was sitting side stage on Lindsey's side this time and really liked that spot.

Thanks for that, Lisa! Sounds lovely. Stevie's niece seemed to like ISA as well - that was the shot she took from the show, making sure to tag as #lindseybuckingham #fleetwoodmac #legend.

Love the pictures. Especially for finally getting pretty good shots of after NGBA! Seriously appreciate that one in particular. They were very generous, keeping that in. They skipped it for both the previous two LA shows so.

I was cracking up last night when Lindsey was sitting on the side during Mick's drum solo. Lindsey was having a blast last night.

Are the Christine songs still getting a lot of audience love? I hope that early adulation lasts—we don't want her retiring in Kent again!

Yes they are. In fact, Little Lies was a highlight of the night. It was really good. Her voice is as strong as, 'The Dance'. The crowd roars on her first syllables of YMLF, as well.

Further, she got the loudest and longest applause during introductions. That's something I've never seen.

On Songbird, she did some extra piano runs to coincide with Lindsey's fills. And her voice was very full and not at all tepid.

fab shots Lisa!!!!!! love all the action LB shots, the guy is definitely covering that stage!!

on another note, bunch of ex-FM collaborators were apparently invited by the band to see the show, sit in the friends&family section and party backstage after. Ken Caillat said he decided to skip going to Japan and support his daughter in entertaining the troops to go to this show. pretty sure Richard was invited too, since his assistant tweeted she was flying to LA and going to the show. and Janet Robin posted bunch of fabulous backstage pics with Lindsey and Neale which you can see if you are FB friends with her.

Oooh. I feel so jealous, not to be there.

i love how much fun he seems to be having on this tour. and WT interactions with audience when he's sitting on the stage are always a blast to watch.

and i love that he was hanging out at the backstage party with past collaborators after the show. here is the link to several backstage photos from Janet Robin's fb timeline (she gave ok for our fansite to share some of her photos):

^^^^ He buried his head in Christine's tummy, back about 3 times last night and she was laughing so hard...

Does Lori Nicks still tour with Fleetwood Mac? Presumably as she is Stevie's sister-in-law, then she is the mother of Stevie's niece.

awwwww, during GYOW?

love their happy little interactions, always adding something to them too. and his interactions with everyone on the stage, really. he's such a touchy-feely guy.

yes, she does. and yes, her daughter posted pics of the 2 of them before the show yesterday as well as screenshot of LB's ISA solo. Nicole is great in compiling all this stuff on her FM show blog.

Aww, thanks Elle. The having to sleep thing gets in the way of keeping fully up to date but I try. I actually reached my daily upload limit for pictures yesterday on tumblr which was distressing!
