Heart Favourite moment

I will never forget the first show of the 2014 'Reunion/On with the Show ' tour in 2014....I think it was Minneapolis....when 'You Make Loving Fun ' was the second song of the concert: the cheer form the audience for Christine was absolutely wonderful and showed so much how delighted everyone was to have her back. You can even see it on the band members' faces, especially Mick and Stevie.
A very special moment!

My favorite moment was standing right in front of Christine for BuckVie, and pushing the dozen roses I'd brought her against her toes.

My favourite moment was the 02 arena in 2013 when Christine appeared for Dont Stop. It was the first night she appeared. I was sat to the side of the stage on her side and had a great view. I watched the show in anticipation kinda knowing she’d be appearing. Don’t remember too much about the rest of the show. But that moment was just amazing.

Seeing my 1st concert ever on the second leg of the Rumours tour in Philadelphia in 1978.

Mirage in Indy would be my second favorite. God, for a MF time machine!

Edit- and that's not a Mick Fleetwood time machine... he's always been a loser.

I remember having an identical reaction to this same occurrence in Pittsburgh. The moment she started singing the first verse of YMLF, the audience went nuts. As a Christine fan, I loved the love she was getting.

I was at that show. It was a funny and memorable moment Mick forgetting to introduce John.

OMG, I had almost forgotten that!

I saw them almost a year later in Buffalo. Most of the performances in Pittsburgh were cleaner and tighter (it was early in the tour) but Over My Head and SYLM were livelier in Buffalo.

The thing that made it memorable was how the band was already into the shuffle of Don't Stop when Mick stopped playing and stood up in shock that for the first time in his life he forgot his co-pilot John McVie.
After Mick's apology and introduction. Chris says "can we start now?"
It all was original and unique and never happened before or ever again.

I've seen the band multiple times since '97 and each time is unique for different reasons. However, I did attend that Pittsburgh show and that crowd response was just insane. I had goosebumps and smiled from ear to ear the entire song. That whole arena just seemed particularly thrilled to be there that night. There was a buzz that night. I saw them a week or so later in Columbus and that too was a very solid show, but the vibe just didn't compare to Pittsburgh!
