We paid $100 a ticket for the worst seats in the house - stage left, nosebleed seats - they were at an angle to the big TV screen so we really couldn't see it. Actually they weren't the worst seats - we were about half a dozen rows in front of the worst. The show was sold out tight. We went as a family. FM was S's first concert, the Tusk tour, which she saw as a teen at the Cow Palace. T learned of FM through Glee but developed a respect for them as that was a launching pad for me to share some of my old FM CDs. We got to the SAP super early. There was more grey hair and walking canes there than at the Cruz symphony. A grisly Nix-chick shuffled by with her black lacy shawl, her blonde wig, her T-cane, and the face of Dorian Grey. We joked with T that she was the youngest attendee in the house (actually not true but we made a game of finding other teens, which was quite a challenging game). Once in our seats, I watched this old woman struggling to climb the stairs, huffing like a fish out of water, and my RM instincts kicked in. Sure enough, she collapsed right in front of us (we had aisle seats) and I reached out and helped the guy behind her catch her. She fell backwards, and would have surely split her noggin, had we not saved her.
I've been following FM since Junior High. This was the first time I saw FM with the entire Rumours band together. I saw them without Lindsay several times. I saw them without Christine as mentioned above. I saw Stevie solo several times. In fact, if memory serves, Stevie was my 3rd rock concert ever.
My lawd. They were AWESOME! :rock:
