you'll never get away from the sound

My photo from the show. You
can see Stevie if you look closely.
I saw the best concert of my entire life this past weekend - Fleetwood Mac at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. It was incredible - each song was more enjoyable than the next. They played a twenty-five song set with two encores. If they weren't playing the same show every night, I would be going on tour. (I would also need to win the lottery.) I was aware I knew a lot of Fleetwood Mac songs, but didn't think I would know all but one. I love concerts like that. As exciting as it is to see the premiere of a dance piece, I feel very differently about seeing live music I have never heard before. I am a dancer at shows and I want to be able to bop and shake and know what I am moving to. 

Stevie Nicks was obviously my favorite. She had the best outfits and even did a few of her trademark spins. I was most impressed with the guitar work of Lindsey Buckingham. He rips HARD - there is no other way to describe it. Mick Fleetwood won my award for best pants - he actually had knickers on. I wish I could hang out with the band members. They all were so grateful and kind. Their backdrops were beautiful, colorful, and full of nature. I only cried twice because things got a little emotional for me during Never Going Back Again and Silver Springs. The rest of the time I was dancing and smiling and grooving. I want more. I love them.
