I WAS there. With the worst seats I ever had for FM. Imagine as absolutely far away from the stage as you could get... that was where we were.

I’m still befuddled that they ignored Hold Me altogether from 1982 until 2018…I guess 2017 if you count BuckVie.

I really like how a lot of the songs sounded with Rick and Billy on guitar they got kind of a new twist. But I also can’t help but wonder how awesome it would have been if Lindsey did the Tango tour. Hold Me and Gypsy live in 1987 would have been so good. And the live videos would have been so cool to watch if Lindsey was there. The classic lineup with all the 80s glam.

Cool! I saw someone in the first few rows with top hat, scarf, and tambourine. I thought it might have been you.

I remember I was just a senior in high school and skipped school to drive to the mall to stand in line to get tickets. My tickets were not that bad, on Rick and Billy's side up the arena some. It was nice that Chris was facing towards me. I just remember looking at the tickets with the words Fleetwood Mac on them. I really doubted I would ever see that.

It was a great show and the arena was packed. But Stevie packed the same arena just the year earlier on her RAL tour. Back in those days remember the beach balls and frisbees that used to get tossed around in the arenas. Someone threw a red frisbee on stage and Stevie picked it up and threw it back into the audience. Her throw was wimpy and pathetic but it sill was cool.

Did you weep during HAEWAFY?

Was that far, that the image arrived before the sound? That happened to me in a festival (latin rock), the singers in the big screen moved their lips but I heard their voices seconds later.

There weren't big screens back then, were there? I honestly don't remember.

I was far enough away that it took me a few songs to figure out that Billy wasn't Lindsey.
