I knew the tour would be lucrative: most people going are going for Stevie and/or because they play a greatest hits package in the car, etc.
The real question for me was would the tour be a musical success, a convincing move forward—or an embarrassing representation of the band’s legacy largely forged by the person they removed. From the outset, I regard what they’re doing now to be the equivalent of a carnival for casual music fans. It’s not a sincere or artistically-rewarding experience. But it’s loud and it’s bright and it’s fun and it’s Stevie Nicks and the Stevie Nicks Players.
My unsolicited two cents.
