Thumbs up Christine McVie pleases tiny turnout

Review from the Pittsburgh Press about her 05/11/1984 concert. I was there and agree with most of what he wrote but the ending sums it up perfectly. While one of the scarcest turnouts for a concert, it was no doubt one of the best concerts of the year.
At the end of 1984, this writer did not forget those words. He recapped all the shows he saw in Pittsburgh in 1984. There were huge acts like Bruce Springsteen, etc but he mentioned this concert again as being one of the best. 721 is a very dismal turnout for her star quality. But believe it or not, I would have guessed it was fewer. But right after Too Much Is Not Enough, the crowd (including me) ran and overwhelmed the orchestra pit. You really saw her and her band's faces light up. They finally got to see the people they were playing for. For about the last 4 songs, they really thrived off the audience, even though it was not many. You have to give kudos to Chris for not cancelling these gigs. It was not about the money for her. She let her band get paid and even the opening act (Baxter Robinson band). I bet she sacrificed for their cause. This review is a treasure to find online.
