Default Stevie's Security

After all this talk among different threads about Stevie's security - I thought I'd add my own thoughts:

At the Auckland show, I found the security to be fair, but they were taking cameras off people

At the New Plymouth show - the security was slack - people were jumping in the lake around the stage, and trying to climb onto the stage.

The worst one however was Stevie's security at the Christchurch show - after they let people up the front for the encore - some girl climbed on stage and walked right over to Stevie and hugged her - SHE COULD HAVE HAD A KNIFE OR ANYTHING We all know that there are some weird Stevie fans (i.e. the fan who was going to kidnap her so she could 'cure' his homosexuality) and where were the security? to busy taking people's cameras away from the fans

Add your tales of Security stupidity below...

Well, as far as Fleetwood Mac goes, I remember seeing them in Anaheim for 2 shows in '03, and you wouldve thought Osama Bin Laden wanted to go to the concert. I mean they were wanding patting, you name it. Then at the next show in San Diego, nobody cared and I got some great pictures. Go figure.

the worst security i've encountered has been in detroit - for both the syw show and the stevie-don show. but i think it was venue security - not stevie's. honestly, they actually affect people's enjoyment of the show. you can't take a step away from your seat without someone yelling at you. and i was so stressed about rushing the stage during edge because they wouldn't even let people start inching towards the aisles during the song before - so of course, that made it WORSE, because when edge started, there was an even madder crush and rush to get to the front. and the second edge was done, they were cracking the whip to get us all away from the stage again.

e.vil.



nice security? scranton, PA for the syw tour. they let me up to the stage and i was there for the entire show (thanks also to the very nice front row people who let me squeeze in with them).

It was BATB - the last song in the encore. She just hugged Stevie, and Stevie said "One can never have to many hugs." - She was cool about it, but...

I've had two great experiences with her security. One was at the Philly show w/Don - they told everyone at the door that they could bring a camera in; the 2nd was at Nissan for her G.D. tour - at the beginning of Edge when everyone starts to rush up, we started to walk fastly, but not running or anything and one of the security guys said, "there's plenty of room up front, everyone just don't run, don't want you to trip or anything" .

I've had two encounters that showed just how much of a smartass they can be. At Hershey for FM, we were 1st row Liddy's side and everyone in the 1st 3 rows in the middle & on Stevie's side were allowed writstbands to go up to the stage WAY before concert started, we weren't and when I asked one of the security guards about it, I told him we were 1st row and he pointed to the wall in front of us & said that we could go stand there all we wanted & after Dreams, this other security guard came over & told us to go up to the stage. 2nd one - I ran into Stevie's HUGE bodyguard for the Camden show and he had a FM crew shirt on and when I asked him if he was looking forward to the concert that night he told me he didn't know what I was talking about another .

Ash is a friend of mine! I'm actually going to get to see her on Sunday. Did you see the scarf that Stevie gave her that night too?

Rumour has it that at the Dublin SYW show, a girl jumped onstage and hugged Lindsey during Come ...

I don't know if that's true. But during a freaking song? Not cool.

Not that'd I'd be able to resist...!
