Front Row at the Fleetwood Mac Concert

Just thought I would share my experience being in the first row of a concert. It was the first time for my wife and I and it was amazing. Really a life experience to cherish. It nearly felt like a private concert for us at the Prudential Center.











This concert tour is the first back with the band in 16 years for Christine! They did an amazing concert for nearly three hours. If you can see them, go, you won't regret it.

Of course the obligatory wrist shot:

Love Fleetwood Mac. How did they sound? Saw them on the today show this week and they didn't sound too good, although it was early in the AM.
Congrats on the front row seats.

They sounded very good. Are they perfect like the Eagles or Elton John? No they aren't but they are a blast and the music is iconic. I am usually the critic when these groups are sloppy, but not of FM!

Great pictures

I saw them in 1988 on the Tango in the night tour & great concert although Stevie Nicks voice was shot then & Mick Fleetwood did a ridiculously long drum solo which was good as allowed us to go to "the gents" without missing anything ;.)

In '88 I paid £10 to see Iron Maiden\ £12.50 to see Fleetwood Mac
In 2012 I paid £37.50 to see Iron Maiden \ I think the Mac tickets earlier this year were were £100 +
IMHO - they cashed in on the rumours aniversay hype. I've taken a stance of a lot of these older bands doing the rounds, especially the one's I saw 25/ 35 years ago at reasonable prices\ cashing in on the fans who are in their 40/ 50/ 60 with spare cash to burn

Great shots, Stevie looks great for a woman of 66.

I thought John McVie was very sick?

Yes John has cancer according to my wife. His treatments must be working.

The Fleetwood Mac Concert

SWEET! Excellent seats, pictures and band!

The first time I saw them was for their "Rumours" Tour in 1977 at a SOLD OUT University of Arizona Football Stadium with 68,000 people in attendance!

http://tucson.com/entertainment/musi...e301fb5c7.html

We could not get tickets so my Brothers and I signed up to sell sodas in the stadium. At that time you have to put up "x" amount of dollars to sell and then sell a specified amount of trays to break even and then star making money. After we sold the break even amount we turned in the apron & soda rack that you had to wear around your neck and headed to the field for en excellent show never to be forgotten!

Have $750. seats for the Eagles Australian Tour in 2015 so I guess I would shell out whatever it takes for FM given that it is the whole band again.

The Eagles put in a great show! Technically they are amazing. The second half of the show is high energy and Joe Walsh steals the show. I would love to see them again! FM is a great high energy show and worth great seats too!

If you haven't seen the Eagles yet, you'll certainly enjoy them as well. We saw them about a year ago.
