I bought the cheapest ticket, but got up front anyway. Trust me, the amount I spent on the other ticket more than made up for it. Blergh.

I have been fortunate to have a lot of good seats for concerts.

The four times I have seen the Mac on the Say You Will tour from the front row.

The third row center seats I had for The Dance tour show in Memphis.

The third row and eighth row center seats I had for Stevie on this tour.

The front row seats I had for Paul McCartney on the Back in the U.S. tour in 2002.

The second row seats for Pete Best in Knoxville.

Tracy Chapman--I sat on the floor right in front of the stage at the Fillmore in San Fransisco.

The backstage pass that I got in college from my roommate( My roommate's dad was Billy Ray's accountant.) to see Toby Keith and Billy Ray Cyrus. This was during Cyrus's peak. We all got to sit backstage and watch the show, hang out with them, got to go on their tour buses, etc.

I took my mom for a birthday present to see Toby Keith and Montgomery Gentry on the second row.

The eighth row seats I had for Prince on his Musicology tour.

I stood in front of the stage for two, Bob Dylan shows. One show his opening act was the Black Crowes, and the second show his opening act was Willie Nelson.

I sat tenth rows from the stage for a free Steve Winwood concert in Knoxville.

I have eighth row seats on July 27 for John Fogerty and John Mellencamp.

As long as I can see the band from a good vantage point then I don't mind not having close awesome seats but I have had some nice seats


Lynyrd Skynyrd 1987 New Haven Coliseum on left side of stage three rows up almost level with the stage.

Lindsey Buckingham 1993 New Britain The Sting was G.A. so I was up front

Stevie Nicks 1996 Boston Common was G.A. and I was up front for this one also.

Stevie Nicks 1998 Hartford The Meadows 3rd row

Fleetwood Mac 2003 Worcester Centrum second night 2nd row

Fleetwood Mac 2004 Hartford The Meadows 10th row

Journey 2004 Uncasville Mohegan Sun Arena one section 25 from stage row 8

[Lisa1769]

2nd Row-- Fleetwood Mac 2003-- smack dab in front of Stevie.
Kansas City--Kemper

[darklinensuit]

Last summer for the Mac show at the Woodlands I was right at Stevie's microphone.

- Jake

[Livia]

Numerous FM and Stevie shows - first 5 rows. Woot.

Front row for Tina Turner w/ Lionel Richie opening. I'll never forget him looking right at me while he was singing "Brickhouse!"

10th row for the Stones, Steel Wheels tour

12th row or so for Heart on their last tour. Security was non-existent, so I ended up right at the stage for most of it.

[GardenStateGirlie]

Out of the 20 FM/SN shows, only maybe 4 or 5 haven't been front row I've lucked out big time.

[CreepingDeath]

I'm going to just list my best FM related shows:

Fleetwood Mac 1997 Las Vegas- 1st row

Fleetwood Mac 2003 Dublin, Ireland- 4th row

Fleetwood Mac 2003 London, England- 3rd row

Stevie Nicks 1998 Las Vegas- 2nd row

Stevie Nicks 2001 Las Vegas- 1st row

Stevie Nicks 2001 Las Vegas- 4th row

Stevie Nicks 2005 Las Vegas- I had 3rd, 5th, 6th, & 2nd


There's probably a lot more that I'm forgetting.

[diamondsnake]

Fleetwood Mac: 2004 Sheds Tour
West Palm Beach- 5th row center
Jacksonville- 8th row, Stevie's side
Atlantic City- Second row, right in front of Stevie's mic (turned into front row since I jumped over the chairs in front of me!)

Stevie Nicks: Dreams
May 13- 3rd row (got to shake hands with Stevie!)

Stevie Nicks: Gold Dust Tour
Tampa- 7th row (got to shake both her hands!)
Sunrise- 3rd row (turned into front row center since security let the first three rows up to the stage)

Never had front row before, but hey, there's always Stevie's next tour (hopefully)...

It doesn't matter where your seats are, it's where you are during the show.

Best: Front Row
Worst: 5th row for Stevie/Don...didn't make it up front until Edge. Boo. Hiss.

Wow. You do know this makes you officially cool in my eyes forever more?
I adore George Jones. I think he's one of the greatest singers ever. It's not funny at all you're going to see him, it's immensely cool.

Oh and to the question. The best seats things doesn't apply to me so much since most of the concerts I go to are standing only. I rarely go to big arena shows.

Aint that the truth. Who ends up sitting in their seat anyway?

[StevieNicksEO17]

Front row in Grand Rapids, MI. about two people away from being at her feet.

[Hawkeye]

Best Musical Seats were 8th row for Stevie at Blossom a few weeks ago, where I ended up in the front for Edge onward.

Best Seats overall were 2nd row center for Larry the Cable Guy.

I'm totally going by myself because i stand alone in my love for him in my circle of friends! I'm REALLY excited about the show and actually, I really like going to concerts by myself. I can take it all in without any distractions. Although, if it was a FM or Stevie show, I think I would need someone beside me 'cause I have to smack someone and scream during the good parts!
