Just got back from the PHILLY SHOW!!!!
This is my fourth (and last) time typing this tonight, as I'm having trouble posting & I have to be up early to fly back to Houston.
This will be short for now, but more details will be added as soon as I can. Highlights of coming attractions: - All about how I met Chris Nicks after the show (he was sloshed - and had some strong opinions to share - there's a story there...) - All about Rhiannon, Gypsy, Beautiful Child, Goodbye Baby, Stand Back - All were AMAZING --- SB had no high kick, but had the best twirls Stevie has done in the 14 years/8 tours I've attended. - All about how Lindsey's wife must have read him the riot act after Saturday, 'cause all night, the furthest he and Stevie went was two kisses on the forehead. He made no mention of Stevie in the intro to Say Goodbye. - All about how I met Marissa --- actually, it was brief just before the show, and she was very nice. (BTW, Congratulations again on the good news.) - All about how the tickets I bought in the first MINUTE of the fan club presale were located in the LAST ROW of the floor.  Thank you, Mr. Todd. Somewhere in the First Union Center is a urinal with your name on it, and I thought of you as I aimed.- All about how our whole section (I was with Mom, brother, and brother's girlfriend) all sat at the start of Come. I resisted but then conformed. Well, about 2/3 of the way through the song, my mother, whose idea of a wild time is to hit Broadway or a spa with her Mah Jong game, jumps up and starts screaming, clapping, and jumping up and down on her bad leg for Lindsey's song. She was SO loud. (Christy, doublecheck your age, because it's quite likely that we were switched at birth.) Anyway, on the ride home, my mother announces "I just LOVE Come." (Now there's a statement from Mom that could send me into therapy for a loooong time.) - Other stuff: losers sitting near us, almost being late due to a bridge delay (30 minutes with no light changes in any direction), buying a t-shirt (still no tour books), and probably a whole lot more that I won't think of until I'm in bed. - Oh yeah, believe it or not, I LIKE NewBlackDress. This was the MOST fun set I've ever seen/heard. I'll write more about the songs tomorrow. Lindsey was so into everything, and Stevie started out fantastic and got better with each song. (She also seemed to get thinner as the show went on.) The whole band was on. I will definitely try to fly somewhere this summer to catch them again if they still don't add Houston to the next leg. - Jake

I got back awhile ago actually but I was too busy being sad...what a high and now what a low.
I was 10th row, the closest ever. I never saw Lindsey so close and I spent the night with him. Come was for me LOL! In my dreams but during that song, and this is the best moment in my life ( and Im not kidding sad to say) was when everyone sat down in front of me. My seat was smack RIGHT IN FRONT OF LINDSEY and he sang come and I sang in my heart and was right there and he looked at me and my friend and I felt it was for me. There was no one else there but me and him and his guitar. I will never get over the looks and the playing and the ...everything. And then for another song, which escapes me now because it was just the fact I blew Lindsey a kiss and he looked back and blew one back. Thats as close as I'll ever get to a kiss from him but what an experience. I really loved every single second, even when Lindsey MESSED up on WTWCT, he totally missed the intro and then had to speed up his lines to catch up. I really wanted to see a kiss for Landslide ( even though I was like Stevie WHO Kristen WHO! Its JANET he wants!) he didn't do a thing and she seemed rather annoyed by him actually when he grabbed her at all. One of the best moments as well was for Tusk, Lindsey leaned on her and after awhile Stevie just laughed and said something like " I don't know why he does that" or something and it was cute. After Silver Springs Stevie seemed touch the crowd loved it. Lindsey and her looked at each other and she just kept singing because at that moment...it was just the two of them ( maybe their only "moment" and after the song ended she said " you remember" and smiled and walked away. What a show. Stevie is rather small and Lindsey was just amazing. I didn't even see John but Mick did really rock that drum solo. I got to watch Lindsey play with his hair though while that was going on. WHAT A NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't wait to hear about your conversation w/ Chris Nicks!
Somehow I knew that Lindsey wouldn't be so touchy-feely tonight. I just wonder what his wife said. Oh to be a fly... Susie

Here's the set list in order from last night. I think this is it; someone correct me if I'm wrong:
The Chain Dreams Eyes of the World Second Hand News Say You Will Never Going Back Again Rhiannon Come Gypsy Big Love Landslide Say Goodbye What's the World Coming to Beautiful Child Gold Dust Woman I'm So Afraid Silver Springs Tusk Stand Back Go Your Own Way World Turning Don't Stop Goodbye Baby There was a crowd there last night. Not completely sold out (empty seats behind the stage) though. I'm not too happy. Well, I'm happy with the Mac, but I hated my seats, Section 3, Row 16. (Yep, though the fan club.) I did take a deposable camera with me & I used the flash. Everyone was taking pictures from all over the First Union Center. I had a lot of heads in front of me; I'm not that tall, so you get the idea. I didn't like my section at all; no drunks, but a bunch of people with no life to them. I think maybe next time I should just sit off on one of the side sections. They seems to really be enjoying themselves. You know, I was really never too hip on Come, but I have to admit here, I really like it live  The crowd sat down for this one. I did take a picture with Lindsey really getting into it; I believe he might have broke a guitar string during this song. And I always liked I'm So Afraid, & he really went to town on this song, the condensed version, not like in The Dance. Go Your Own Way rocked the house & surprisely, Tusk did, too.I don't think Say Goodbye sounded quite right. Even my husband, who's not too into music commented on this song. Sounded off somehow. Yeah, I think Lindsey got a lecture from the wife. The most he did was kiss Stevie on the forehead & once he kissed her hand. That was the extent of it. Stevie just smiled after he would kiss her. Stevie looked really happy. Her highlights were Rhiannon, Beautiful Child, GDW, Silver Springs & Stand Back. I believe it was Stand Back she twirled around. She got me dizzy just watching that spin!  I love Mick; he was so into it. That crazed look on his face! World Turning was his drum solo, vest & all. If I can think of anything else to add, I will. Oh, I got a t-shirt, the blue one, & my husband bought me a keychain. My husband, not too into music, really liked the Mac. I didn't see Chris Nicks, but I'd be interested in that conversation, too.

Oh, definately want to hear the Chris Nicks conversation. Krikey. That should be interesting. My friend Steve bought a disposable camera and I had a camera with a zoom lens and 4 rolls of film. The roll from Atlantic City and one roll from last night are being developed today so I should have some pictures to post on here later today

You crack me up. Your mother sounds like an absolute riot. I'm dying to hear the Chris Nicks story. Seeing FM just seems to make everything a little sweeter. And Lindsey's wife must have been in the audience.

You guys are the first to know I'm back in Houston. (I walked in, put my bags down, checked my phone messages, & logged on. Couldn't leave you hanging.
) I don't have time to write everything right now or organize what I put, so bear with. First, Chris Nicks. My group misplaced the car when we left the concert & wandered around like Scooby Doo & the Gang on the case. It was sad. I knew there was some logical explanation & kept saying "I think this just LOOKS like where we parked." Sure enough, we were on the wrong parking lot. We needed to go past the 3 port-a-potties, past the fence, & across the exit/entrance lanes. My brother's girlfriend & I lagged behind my brother & mother, who were arguing over whether my mother saying we were parked near a red sign really meant that she thought we were on the wrong lot all along, as she was now claiming. My brother's girlfriend (whom I've known since Saturday) is a bit judgmental & started criticizing this guy's look to me - he was maybe thirty feet ahead. The guy seemed drunk, had long hair, and was screaming some nonsense at an equally apparently inebriated gentleman walking toward us. As we got closer to the second guy - nobody else was really close, this guy was kind of glaring at people as he walked toward us. He had this very distinct walk where he leaned forward & swung his arms casually. He was not as grey as he's looked in pictures, but did have the short ponytail, Was wearing jeans & a light blue shirt. I thought "It can't be." As he started to pass & looked at me looking out the corner of his eye (I knew him by the eyes, hair, and shape of the face), I said "Chris?" and stopped. He said "Yeah" in a very curmudgeounly way and kept walking. Maybe he was pissed at that other guy, I don't know. I called "Tell Lori we love her and miss seeing her." By now he was about ten feet past us and he stopped, turned & called "Yeah, WE are missing her! We do!" I wasn't sure we were understanding each other, whether I should shake his hand or what, and I said "No, tell her all of US really miss her" and he nodded and said "Yeah, she really needs to be here." Then he got louder and said (he really DID say "These songs aren't working, some of them just don't work AT ALL without her, they NEED her." And he shook his head in disgust. "Some of these songs just don't work at all without her." I was kind of stunned he would say this to a fan, proud as he may be of his wife. I didn't think to mention the fan club, & I was kind of at a loss for words anyway like a schmuck. I said "The songs were great, they worked, we just love seeing Lori up there." He looked at me like he expected me to keep talking, but I just stood there, feeling, corny as this may sound, a bit embarressed for Stevie that he'd be walking around like this like this. Not that I'm saying he's the Billy Carter of Fleetwood Mac. It's great that he was approachable, but his manner and words were probably not what Stevie would have advised, I imagine. Then he looked sort of angry again, called "Some of the songs are just NOT working at all", turned and walked, and I called "Just tell her we'd all love to see her come back on tour" and he smiled and said "She should be touring" and kept walking. He wasn't rude, he seemed friendly, just like something had already pissed him off, and in fairness, for the record, I can't say that he was definitely drunk. He wasn't holding anything, and I've never seen him in person before. It might just be that the combination of his unique mannerisms and his readiness to criticize the band's sound in some of the songs made me assume he whad been drinking. Who knows. I probably should have said more, like that fans would prefer that HE be in charge of the fan club, and if he wants to introduce me to the band, I'd be happy to tell them that. Coulda worked, eh, especially if I said I would be willing to tell the band that they absolutely MUST have Lori, that this was the talk of the venue. But that's it. I caught up to the rest of the group & said "I just talked with Stevie's brother!" I have to think there was a reason we couldn't find that car.... - Jake

LOL!!! That's hysterical!!! I can just see him saying that. Oh, and I couldn't find my car either! I'm like, how in the world do you misplace a buick??!?!? We ended up above the loading dock. We saw Mindy and Sharon come out. We yelled for Mindy and she wouldn't look at us. My friend Steve did an Ozzy Osbourne "SHAAROON!" and she turned around and waved to us. We saw two black limos with police escorts haul some ass out of there and that was it.
