An Idea From The Stevie Board: The Photo Era Scrapbook Edition 1: Tango In The Night~

[GoldDustOrphan]

Fleetwood Mac's October 31, 1987 show at The Boston Garden was my fifth time seeing Stevie in concert and my first time in the front row. Stevie Nicks + Halloween Night + front row = once in a lifetime chance. The Halloween night show was added to their tour itinerary after the Oct. 30 show sold-out. While waiting out over night at a Boston ticketmaster to purchase tickets to Oct. 30, my friend Sandra and I spent most of the time wishing the show was Halloween and how perfect it would be, but that it would never happen. We got great seats for Oct. 30. When Oct. 31 was announced, she and I drove to the ticketmaster in Salem, Mass., one town over from Sandra's home - figuring it would have fewer people lining up. Arriving at 10 p.m., we were first in line and later in many stages of disbelief when the four tickets we purchased were front row seats on the far left. Security was disallowing cameras, but I was able to sneak off a few shots using a small, crappy pocket camera. Sandra brought a really nice camera, but was too afraid to use it. I took three shots with it and this was the only one that came out.

Good camera:



Crappy camera:
(I have a much better shot, but I have to take that photo out of a frame to scan. I'll do it later, because Stevie is holding some of the stuff we gave her and it's just odd looking. Notice the Halloween balloons in this shot.)


Here are Tango-era photographs I purchased at Stairway to Heaven, which is now closed but was located in Boston's Downtown Crossing. I bought hundreds of photos there...
