How old were you when you attended your first Mac Concert?

A thread in the chit chat forum about young fans got my little brain wondering. How old was everyone here when you want to see Fleetwood Mac for the first time?

I was 12 years old... and it was the Time tour. I still remember it like it was yesterday! I was just giddy with excitement. I was 16 when I saw my first Mac member solo show: Stevie's Enchanted tour. I still hate I've not seen any of the other solo Macsters. I have always been dead broke when Lindsey comes to the Carolinas (and he's never come within a couple hours of Charlotte, anyway). I'd especially like to see him. I'd love to see Bob Welch perform too. Guess I gotta get on top of my Mac bucket list!

I was 8! I had lawn seats to the "Say You Will" tour in New Jersey and it was amazing! I had been listening to Mac all my life, but never knew what they looked like. My mom was like, "Miranda, i'm letting you know right now that the woman likes to spin around in lots of lace and flowy dresses" and that's when i fell in total admiration with Stevie.

I saw Stevie when I was 14, but I didn't see the Mac until last year. (Incase you can't do the math, I was 15

)

Funny story, when my aunt and I were at the Unleashed concert in Milwaukee she was like "I'm pretty sure I saw Fleetwood Mac in the 70s." And I was like "OMG NO WAY WHAT YEAR?! HOW COME YOU'VE NEVER TOLD ME!?" She said "Well... you see... it was the 70s. And I don't think I knew it had a name."

She also deemed Mick the Drumming Santa. I love my aunt!

20, saw them for the first time last year on their Unleashed Tour in Glasgow

and what an amazing show it was I loved hearing "Storms" live that song means a lot to me.

I was 16 when I saw them during the "Shake the cage" Tango in the Night tour.

I was 20. I went to see them in 2009. It's unfortunate I couldn't drink, since it seemed everyone else was 40+ and drinking.

34!! Still kicking myself for not getting a ticket for The Dance and SYW. But, I did go 4 times last year, so that helps make up for it a little.

I was 17 and it was June 4, 2009. Ended up standing a foot away from Lindsey. Effing amazing.

They came in 2004 to a smaller place and lower prices so I went to that one.

I was 22. The Dance tour, Marine Midland (now HSBC) Arena 11/97. I was just getting into them & wasn't yet obsessed, so I overslept when tix went on sale & ended up with seats in the very top/highest row in the arena.

Talk about nosebleeds. I was lucky to get them, though, as the show sold out in like 40 minutes.
