Oh man....during the SYW tour my friend and I went to 6 concerts -- and let me tell ya, each show there were at least a few freaky things that happened each time. REmember when FM played at the Coors Amphitheatre in 2004 and that wacko jumped on stage and put his arm around Stevie and Lindsey? THen, you saw this flash ....and the guy disappear....that flash was one of FM's ENORMOUS security guards. THat guy was flattened, and rightfully so! Also at that same concert my friend and I had 2 guys behind us promise to "protect us" as there were some crazed fans screaming at Stevie and pushing to get to the stage.....they were absolutely ramming those of us in front who paid through the A$$ for our seats (we did the $500/ticket w/tour package -- still can't believe we forked out that much $!!!)....come hell or high water, we weren't budging! There was also a chick who was strung out on something pretty potent who was trying to climb the stage....she was all sweaty and her eyes were bugging out....thankfully, once again, the wonderful guards at Coor's took care of her.

* Columbus Ohio show Enchanted tour ---
several women dressed to the nines in Stevie regalia didn't just applaud enthusiastically or jump up and down...nope...they did the "Xena" war cry, ALOT !!!

*L.A. SYW first leg first night

Hippy/shaman chick dripping in amber and crystals was doing an aura reading or something the entire show. I really dig the bohemian hippy look but this chick looked more like a crazed bag lady who needed a deep conditioner and introduced to a paddel brush. She just waved her arms in the air like she was at a baptist revival and murmured all trancey like. Wow lady..do what you do, but damn at least sway to the beat. She seemed unaware of the awesome music and fabulousness going on right in front of her, too busy cleansing aura's I guess.

You just wanna say we aren't all Crazy Stevie, I swear. Just because I wept when I heard Sara live and spend way to much time on the Ledge doesn't mean anything. I'm completely normal!!! Really!

If you wanna talk drunk and disorderly I got a million of them of course that is not exclusive to Stevie fans.

i remember going to the stevie show on june 15th and there were people two rows away from us and they had a fight throwing drinks all over and they were sent out but they let them back in for stevie's part of the show. i wouldn't have let them back in for the show.

TISL tour, first show in Grand Rapids, Michigan. There was a lady in an empty section that was right off to the right of the stage where you wouldn't be able to see the show very well. She was the only one sitting there and she was dancing like a freak through the whole show. Dancing up and down the aisles!! We laughed our asses off!!

The Stevie fans at the shows who do obnoxious things are completely witless, but the guy who yelled DAVID BOWIE during Stevie's opening vocal on Sara on the 7.30.83 audience recording was a brilliant, witty guy. It was obviously an in-reference to the US Festival, in addition to whatever else it was, & it brought an almost theatrical levity to the moment.

I've seen fans do too many idiotic things at the Stevie concerts to be able to recall a specific example. Most of the time, in my experience, it was just a lot of hamfisted yelling & catcalling, or getting into fights (like the two sets of lesbians who pummeled one another through an entire portion of the set at the 1991 show at Concord Pavilion).

That wasn't the TISL tour it was the Gold Dust tour.

There were empty seats on the left side of the stage 2nd balcony where someone was going back and forth through the empty seats waving their hands back and forth and dancing and the whole nine yards. It was hilarious

I have to say there was some art in the guy who did that.

OH OH OH! I have another example...it was more enfuriating than embarrassing, but here we go: my friend Kim and I attended a FM concert at the Staples Center in LA back in 2003. The asswipes behind us (we had 5th row, center, aisle seats), a couple who really wasn't much older than Kim and I (I had just turned 20 and Kim was 24) started screaming at us when we stood up and bopped along to the music.....which EVERYONE else around us was doing. Well, the dipwads expected Kim and I to sit down since their seats were directly behind us .... we just ignored them. THey got up out of their seats and came over to me since I was on the aisle, and freaked out and started screaming in my face about how they didn't want to stand up and they paid a lot of $ for their seats and we were ruining the show for them...and if we didn't do what they wanted, they would "get us kicked out." SUUUURE.....so....I first said to them both "we each paid $250 for our ticket" (through brokers, of course) and that we weren't going to sit down...it was a concert after all. Well, they got even more pissed. My friend is has a ton of ink on her....she had a huge butterfly on her chest, half sleeves on both arms, etc., and the chick behind us started screaming at Kim about her tattoos and how Kim was trashy....blah blah blah. Kim and I ignored them and continued to enjoy the music. Then, the dude that had screamed in my face only about ten minutes before, grabbed me by my arm and threatened us, once again. Well, guess who saw? STEVIE! She just stared....and watched it all unfold...it was awful. I was so caught off guard by the guy grabbing my arm that I could do is just stand there with my mouth hanging open. Well, after he let go I ran over to this MASSIVE security guard and told him what happened and he went over and ripped both the guy and his gf a new one and told them Kim & I weren't doing anything wrong....thankfully they both left not long after their warning to leave us alone. Soon thereafter Kim & I saw an opportunity to get up to the third row, which required us to hop over some seats. Kim had on chunky heels and I had on boots.....I didn't have any trouble getting over the seats, but Kim did....Stevie saw Kim try to hop over the 4th row seats and smack her head on the back of a 3rd row seat...and one of her shoes fly off. The really awesome guard nearby just chucked Kim's shoe over her shoulder and Kim put it back on. LOL....what a fiasco......

At the Nassau Coliseum (Uniondale, NY) stop of the '87 'Shake The Cage' tour, some guy near me kept shouting out "CRYSTALLLLLLL". It was really annoying, but I had sort of forgotten about it until about a year later when I got a cassette boot of the same show, and what comes though loud and clear? "CRYSTALLLLLL!!" I guess the taper was seated in my section or he had a really good 'Walkman' (hey, this was 1987).

Well, there have been many since I first started seeing Stevie and the Mac, but probably the worst was in Toronto, CA 1987 (Tango).

While Squeeze (the opener) was playing, the girls sitting next to me squeezed in the row to their seats. I knew the one next to me was trashed beyond repair. Not 1 song into the show, she vomits gallons on the head of the innocent girl in front of her.

I felt sooo bad for that girl. Obviously, the drunk ones next to me split and never came back. The girl who got puked on had to go to the bathroom and wash everything. She came back soaked. Wet clothes, wet hair, etc. Quite a trooper. She somehow managed to make the best of it.

I would have been in jail for killing the drunk chick.
