My Worcester, MA 5/27/03 Review

I came up from Rhode Island to Worcester to attend both of the shows. I arrived at the arena around 7PM with some friends from the Internet who picked me up at my hotel. I go to the Will Call window and pick up my 5th row seat. I get past security with my camera. I head toward my seat, which is in front of Lindsey. This was my 3rd show so far but the one I was most excited about because it was the closest to my hometown.
The show started about 8:30. As the lights went down I could the excitement in the air. The last time I got to see the Mac in this venue was back in 1982.
Again the set list was the same as the other shows that I had gone to see. There were some great moments at this show. During the song “Come” Lindsey had his eyes closed and he looked like he was having a religious/out of body experience. I closed my eyes for a few seconds and I just felt as if I was at someplace like Woodstock.
I was taking some photos and I think Lindsey saw me and I don’t think he minded. I think he kind of liked it as a matter of fact. I was pretty quiet for most of the show trying to take photos. On “Tusk” and “Stand Back” I was dancing around. I think that the band sees this and responds favorably to it.
Stevie was in rare form. She seemed so happy to be there. She must have had a great birthday! She sounded great. She did the twirls and danced a bit. I missed seeing the little “running in the shadows” dance that she does with her hands because I was fiddling with my camera.
There was a guy who during “Tusk” jumped right on stage. He was dancing around like he was at a Red Hot Chili Peppers concert more then a Fleetwood Mac concert. Security was right on him and had him in a headlock. I don’t think that Stevie noticed at first but she seemed OK with it.
Well, it was a great first night in New England. I still had one more night to go.
