Falling Asleep during a concert! - Page 2

My Mom fell asleep during a FM show, but she was also abusing medication. She's fine now, but it was one of the things I brought up during the intervention. "Mom, you fell asleep at a frickin' concert!"

I'm not going to fault an old man for falling asleep, but if he didn't clap and left early then he shouldn't have been there. There's an element to this Vegas environment that is very unappealing to me, from the comp tix to people who spend buckets of money to the 90 minute max performance.

If I were an artist, I wouldn't want to agree to terms that limited my show. Last year, Dolly Parton had to cut songs that people in every other city got to hear because of the rule. I doubt Stevie plays much more than a 90 minute set these days, so it might be irrelevant, but it's the principle to me.

If the old man wasn't bugging anyone then what's the problem lol???

It's his ticket - and his seat - he can do whatever he wants! At least he wasn't yelling at people to sit down etc - maybe the music moved him to peace and he fell asleep

Who knows.

You get all kinds at concerts...I try to let it not get to me, enjoy MY time there and that's all that matters...I try not to worry about what others are doing....or not doing

Well, I remember reading an interview with Lindsey (right after the Clinton Inauguration) where he'd made some comment about Fleetwood Mac "sleeping through entire performances". So, if the artist can, the audience can, too, I say.

90 minutes max rule??? Good grief, that is ridiculous!! I'm less and less enamoured with Vegas the more I learn about the place. Vegas is supposed to be different, isn't it?

I understand an old man falling asleep - maybe his young ladyfriend/wife was a fan and wanted to see Stevie? Aah, true love!

I would have loved to sit through the performance - my feet and legs and back were aching from all the walking I'd been doing. Scoliosis and Vegas do NOT make a good combination. But the peeps in front were up and dancing, so I didn't have much choice.

Big deal. I've done that at Stevie Nicks shows & a few other shows.

No, I didn't, because it wasn't "Edge Rush Eligible"

Oh, right. It was me who held her tiny hand and got a big smile that night while you tried to squeeze past the bean burrito you were sitting beside!

But in terms of the concert itself, you were in a way better place. Stevie was in profile the whole time where we were.

Yeah. It's weird, the next night I was at the end of that same row towards the center, and somehow it was waaaay, waaay better.

And you didn't get up to the front for that one either? I see a parody song coming!

No, I was once again first girl behind security. Only got up on Fri when there was no security, but got there too late to be close enough for Stevie's magical hand to touch me. Yes, there should definitely be a parody...

Right behind security
all the time
I'll never touch Stevie's hand...

another bad seat,
another edge rush
another, heart broken, state of mind
Alone behind security
she dreams of touching Stevie

Far back - she's got a Stevie-less view!
Outcries when when will I touch her, when will I touch her now?
I've got my hand wide open and i'm ready
to smack security down
I say in words unspoken
Stevie touch my hand
Well I cry well I never get to touch her! Crappy seats! Cuts like a knife!

etc.
