On axstv. Very bittersweet and good. I saw them in concert back in the md 70's. They are really special.

I saw them in concert about ten years ago and enjoyed it. During the song Landslide I remember Stevie Nicks waving her hand in the air when she sang the line, "I'm getting older too."

Did I ever tell you guys that Stevie Nicks is The Other Woman in our relationship? 
Boonie spent his first couple of years with the phone company as a coin collector. He was collecting at the Philadelphia venue, The Electric Factory. Larry Magid, the concert promoter, started yelling at Boonie because the phones outside the ticket offices weren't profitable. Turns out, they were old phones, without protected cords. In those days, you could stick a pin in the phone cord, get metal to touch metal and get a dial tone.
Anyway, Boonie explains this to Magid and tells him that he can spend the extra money to cover the cords (not a standard practice yet, although it would become so shortly). Magid starts yelling at him again. After Magid's rant, Boonie is standing there stupefied.
A "cute little girl" comes out of Magid's office, walks over to Boonie and tells him everything will be OK and not to let it bother him. Magid was crabby that day. She gave him a big hug and kiss on the cheek and goes off to the stage. Boonie always thought it was so sweet that this little hippie girl came out of the office and took time to make him feel better.
It was Stevie Nicks. But she wasn't Stevie Nicks yet. He's not even sure it was Fleetwood Mac playing. It could have been Buckingham/Nicks opening for someone.
Anyway, I tease Boonie sometimes about his girlfriend, Stevie.
