And it wasn't only Stevie and Lindsey. Christine didn't look very happy either. I don't know if the BuckVie tour is the cause of this strange behavior on stage, but a cold concert with no emotion whatsoever isn't exactly who they are. And it makes the concert less pleasurable.

And I certainly sympathize with the reporter. It makes you feel like a sucker for caring about their legacy.
I don't think Fleetwood Mac has really ever been a great stadium band. The Eagles are masters at duplicating the sound of the records; but Fleetwood Mac has always been a different thing on stage - with much more interesting arrangements and more muscle. Also the acoustics at Dodger stadium are AWFUL, and it's the main reason I didn't go. The stage is far away from where they put the first row of fans, and in general it's a lousy place for bands to play and connect with the audience.
