Who spent 3 hours 12 feet from Stevie Nicks? Me. And my mom. It was magical.
On our way in, I politely tell Tim, the events staff member showing us to our floor seats, that if any front row seats just happen to be become available, that we would be more than happy to fill them. So Tim looks us out, as he said he would, and mere minutes later we are standing right in front of the stage. Thanks, Tim.
This was a hits tour so it stands to reason that the renditions of "Landslide," "Gypsy," "Go Your Own Way," "Dreams," "Second Hand News," "Rhiannon," etc. made up the majority of the set list. I had tears in my eyes through "Landslide." "Gold Dust Woman" was beautifully done.
Lindsey Buckingham played a ridiculous show. His solos were amazing. The passion he and Stevie showed was moving. At one point they embraced while he played his guitar. It was a moment of such personal and private emotion. You could see the years falling around them.
Here are some crappy pics I took with my camera phone, because, of course, I forgot my camera.
Stevie through various changes of clothing:
Lindsey soloing it about five feet from us:
And John McVie gettin funky:
I narrowly avoided buying a Second Hand News t-shirt, which would be somewhat a propos to my personal life right now, minus the "someone else" and "stuff." I went with one that read "Rock on Gold Dust Woman." Because who can resist that? Thanks for the t-shirt, Mom. And Happy Mother's Day!

I bought that album with money from my first job as a stockboy in a store that's since gone out of business in a mall that's been torn down !!! Great stuff. Great for you and the mom, she really does dance then.
it was absolutely amazing. such an experience. a wise purchase! i hate when they tear down/build on top of the pillars of my youth. it happens too often around here.
