Anyone else missing this leg of the tour?

[whitesoxx]

I also won't be going, but shouldn't really complain having seen them multiple times in the US and Europe last year. I was supposed to go and see them at Jones Beach next week but because of work I can't take more than a few days off which is a bit crazy if you have to fly across the ocean to see them. So I am saving my money for the next Stevie solo tour- I would NEVER miss the opportunity to dance to Edge Of Seventeen

PS now that Destiny Rules is no longer in the set list, I feel a bit better about not going

1. going to the states (other than nyc) costs about 3 times more than to holland for me.
2. i'm going with 3 of the best friends i have, i can't back up after i promised to go, that will make me a total jerk.
3. pleeeeease stop. i'm trying to resist temptation, i'm looking for reasons NOT to go, and not TO go. i do NOT have the 2000$ to do so

I thought the Amsterdam was about me and I wondered how Hawkeye knew!? LOL. I went in April though and that is a big reason I am broke.

Marissa, if you don't have seats yet, I hate to say this, but Ebay had 3rd row pit seats for only 350--175 a piece! Thats a steal!! This guy from Encore seats are selling great seats for not that much. If I had 175 Id so pay that in a second.

I just don't know if I could do lawn. I did lawn at the Tweeter when it was the E Center when I was seeing FM the first time in 1997. It seemed like everyone was into partying and not in the show. I'd HAVE to be like into the show. Plus last leg I was LUCKY with 4 shows but one show I was far back and that killed me too. I want to be close and I know the seats are available but I didn't save anything ( couldn't) and my rent is right when the show was. If it were later in the month...no problemo.

I NEED to see Sara and Red Rover. I NEED to see Come and Stand back again. I just NEED $200 to do itLOL!

I guess I will consider lawn since they are cheap and stuff...

[Tango]

Listen to your local classic rock radio stations. They are ALL giving away FM tickets. Free! Be on the listen. Hey, and they are better than the lawn seats at least! Good luck!

for the record tommer, i went to amsterdam last year and had an amazing time, so although it wont be fleetwood mac, its definitely worth it!

[KathyD]

ok... i'll join the pity party. I'm going to be on the mainland around the middle of June. But I'll be on the east coast while they're in Texas or someplace like that. Damn................

[Hawkeye]

OK will someone pl,ease inform me what the big deal is surrounding Amsterdam. What makes it such an amzing place.

[KathyD]

well, for me it was the "coffeeshops".

[The Tower]

Well, I ain't going on this leg. I saw "Sara" live in 1979 (and on numerous Stevie solo shows) and that's enough for me. I would love to see it, but some of the boots I've heard have been lacking in vocal quality. And I'm certainly not shelling out $300.00 for two tickets to see ONE song!

If they had included just one other gem (Storms, Crystal or Sisters of the Moon as suggestions) I woulda been there in a heartbeat.

Amsterdam rocks for many, many reasons. Mostly the cultural/societal atmosphere- you can't beat the Dutch for all around intelligence, kindness and tolerance. Also, the pot bars rock the cazzzbah!

it's europe's sin city, great clubbin, sex everywhere, excellent drugs (both free and legal), cool shopping, a little 'city' you can cross by foot and just enjoy how beautiful and welcoming it is, it takes you about a day to feel at home there. i haven't been there for nearly 2 years which makes my desire to get there pretty urgent.

[QUOTE=DownOnRodeo]Count me out, too. :P
But "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn".

Ahh~! I love that billy joel tune off of River of Dreams. Shades of Grey is another favorite of mine!...sorry off topic

But slightly on topic....I am catching them in cleveland this leg but I only saw them ONCE last year in buffalo...so between the dance and now, I will have only saw the mac three times. Im hoping the cleveland show dosnt get postponed or cancelled, hopefully she will be all better.

[Hawkeye]

Man this Amsterdam does sound really great. It's like Las Vegas huh. And considering where you live tommer, I can't blame you for taking a whole summer in Amsterdam insead of a wekk in the States.

ahh are you serious? I went looking on ebay and couldnt find anything. Has the auction already ended? I've been having the worst time trying to find decent tickets at a reasonable price for the Camden show, so I just bought 9th row tickets for Hershey park from ebay for $195 for 2. When you factor in the price of the hotel for the night, I really wouldnt be paying anymore money to buy the tickets for the Tweeter. and 3rd row PIT!!!! I knew I should of waited longer

No boot can compare to the real thing live. Don't let this keep you from going!
