Behind The Mask ()

My wife and I, along with several friends, saw the band in person at the World Music Theater in Tinley Park, IL. just after the album came out (July 1990). As I suspected, going into the theater, the concert was sold-out, and...for a very good reason! Words alone cannot describe the intensity of Stevie's, Billy's, and Christine's vocals on each and every song! We were only 25 ft from the front of the stage, and I could see clearly each and every one of them as they worked the front of the stage during their vocals. Passion, yes.... soul, yes.. intensity, double-yes! Two hours was not even close to experiencing the excitement of The Mac! Billy, Rick, Stevie, and Christine certainly made up for the missing Buckingham (Lindsey, who?). While I am happy and relieved he later rejoined the band, Rick and Billy certainly held their own.
Think about how it would be to be standing 25 ft. away... then play the album (cd) again- all the way through- with your eyes closed! THAT's why I give it 5 stars...6 if they'd let me!
