I had a Fleetwood Mac cap on and a Stevie Nicks Chain t shirt (shirts us in the stevie nicks chain group had made)...weird, you never know who you are beside lol

Yeah I think I remember you too Chris! I was wearing a black Fleetwood Mac shirt and I think I had blue jeans on. I got to shake Lindsey's hand, so that made it worth it. I didnt see the guy who cried though...odd.

Call me a party pooper or whatever but I'm one who would prefer no drinking at concerts. I'm not a prude and I do enjoy a drink however, when I pay the amount of money I have at concerts, I want to enjoy the concert and not have to deal with people going back and forth to get drinks and then have to pee. Of course, then when they get their drinks they can't help but spill it all over you. The concert is a couple of hours long....drink before or after - I don't care. But, let me enjoy the concert!!!!!! I don't understand the people who go to see a concert and can't sit long enough to enjoy it!!!!!

That's gotta include Stevie herself...and her band...so the show may have to be canceled.

I've been through this 20 years ago.I can have alots of fun At Stevie's Concerts without getting sh#$faced at the shows.

I couldnt agree with you more. I NEVER drink at any Stevie/Mac show I go to, dont dringk much anyway, but I know what youre talking about. A couple times when I was in the front row, people FREAKED OUT on me cause they said I was at "Their" spot at the front of the stage. I mean, I don't give a sh##, you want the spot, I'll move over a few feet, it dont rock my world. I mean, people just need to relax and have a good time, otherwise, crawl back into the hole you came out of and stay there and let me have a good time

There was a guy close to her who literally almost came to blows with guy sitting next to me for standing/dancing. Quite a mess.

They were probably from West Virginia. About the only person I've seen that has all their teeth and has half a brain from that state is Curtis.

I'm sure ppl think I'm annoying at concerts....but I don't care. I paid to have a good time.

Curtis, you have as good a time a u fu##in want. You're exactly right.

DavidMn · #38 07-05-2005, 02:42 PM

You know, hearing all this reminds me of the show in Scranton last year. I met this girl Ashley there, I think some of you might know who she is, she can't use her arms, and EVERYONE at that show made ure she had a good time. During GYOW, I gave up my spot at the front of the stage so she could get on this guys shoulders and then I held her arms so she could touch Lindsey's guitar during the solo. Now that to me is the human spirit at its best

I hope you don't think I'm some kind of party-pooper or human spirit killer because of my opinion of the people who scream during a quiet part of a concert. Noise on top of noise (like everyone shouting during "Stand Back") is perfectly OK for a concert, but taking advantage of a slow interlude in the show to yell out your feelings for Stevie is not. Several people I've sat next to feel the same way.

It has to do with the moment. If you see Metallica, of course you're going to shout. If you go to the Philharmonic, I don't think people will appreciate an individual screaming the conductor's name in the middle of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.

JMHO.

ITA!! I've mentioned this before - if anyone near me screams, "I LOVE YOU STEVIE!" during BATB, or whatever, I just look at them and smile and say, "She knows." That works MUCH better than "Shut the f*ck up, you idiot!"

My other pet peeve is whistlers. I always manage to get right in front of someone who adores to whistle that high-pitched, eardrum exploding whistle directly into my ear. I don't mind if they cup their hands around their mouth to divert it upward and outward, like when you squirt a lemon into your drink! It's just good manners!

But, we are NOT nice, we are rock and rollers!!!

I was whistling at you darlin'

No drinking alcohol at concerts works for me... even better LEAVE THE TAMBOURINE AT HOME!!!!!
That has to be the most annoying thing to have someone who considers themselves a huge fan, but doesn't respect the band and Stevie enough to leave the music to the musicians. I don't pay tons of money to listen to an audience member play (usually badly)....

diamondsnake · #43 07-05-2005, 10:56 PM

I totally agree about screaming during ballads like Say Goodbye and Beauty and the Beast. Who wants to hear someone scream "You're the beauty baby!" through the entire song? Not me!

During FFG, Rhiannon, etc. by alll means dance, jump up and down, whistle, shout, sing along, but during the one or two emotionally charged ballads, shut the hell up with the "I love you Stevie" stuff.

I know I annoy people though. During Beautiful Child last year some woman kept wanting me to sit down! Hello! I was in the fifth row! If you are in the fifth row you shouldn't have to sit down. I could understand if I was in the nosebleeds section with all the casual fans and I was the only one standing though...

Edgeof27 · #44 11-29-2008, 06:57 PM

Totally agree....

No Booze at the shows....please...........

Unfortunately, that's where the venues make their profits....

Casino Rama, (5,000 seats), Orillia, Ontario Canada, No Booze allowed in the room,

The sound is pretty good when you are at the front, Security is pretty anal about cameras.

Borgata, (1,800 seats), Atlantic City, Booze is allowed in the room,

The Sound is phenomenal at the front,

on the left side the superb guitars of Waddy, &, Al, really shine through, (excellent),

on the right side, Carlos, Ricky, Sharon, Jana, & Lori, all blend beautifully, (awesome),

again, at the front, drunks do not seem to be a problem,

I did read a review that a lady in the audience was taunted by some drunken individuals because she was at the show on her own, (not nice people).

Security is really tight, they use NJ State Troopers at the front, (nice guys really), no cameras etc, unfortunately if you are not in the first two rows, you are not getting up to the stage for the "Edge-walk".

Soundboard, Detroit, Motor City Casino, (1,500 seats), well this is a mixed bag,

great venue, unfortunately there are four, (4) bars inside the room, (ie, 375 people per bar), no problem if you want to imbibe to excess,

Security, (25 October 2008), was extremely lax, a young lady, with the assistance of her best friend, was able to thwart the SWAT team that night, and in an instant became the highlight of the night, by being able to accend to the stage, hug Stevie, kiss Stevie, &, tell Stevie that she loved her, (all of which I wanted to do, kudos Chris).

After the Stage Jumper incident, Security got serious, and they were watching all the Alpha Males, how predictable.

All in all, Detroit was the best of all the venues, due to the Sound, and, the intamacy of the room, "almost like being in a bar", quote from Jimmy Paxson.

So, once again, you can't please all the people all of the time.

We should all try be on our best behaviour when in the presence of others, but..............

God, if that isn't the truth. I also can't stand cocertgoers who get sauced....it does ruin the experience for everyone around them. I will NEVER forget when this DRUNKA$$ B!TCH PEED all over the floor when my friend Kim and I attended one of FM's SYW shows up in Los Angeles. The stupid woman was blitzed beyond belief and because she was right up against the stage, she didn't want to lose her spot if she left to go to the restroom. Consequently, the floor at the Staples Center turned into a restroom. Let me tell you, I'm a pretty passive person, but if that woman would have been with reach of me and I happened to step in her urine, I would have clocked her...it was just sick. I think that disgusting experience truly convinced me that there are some real low-lifes that couldn't care less about affecting anyone else's concert experience.... I hope someone takes a leak on her some day. I felt SO bad for the people right next to her.....
