I honestly don't think Chris could lead half the show anymore, which is what you'd need her to do if they didn't hire Finn and you didn't want the show to officially become a Stevie Nicks solo gig. Even on the BuckVie tour, she appeared to play a more passive role to Lindsey who, to me, appeared to be leading the show.
It would be different without a male vocal but I think it could work with the right background singers. But they aren't bold enough to do that. With Finn they can essentially keep the same arrangements and setlist that they've grown accustomed to. After hearing Neil sing The Chain, I find it laughable that they are going to try and pull off some pre-75 stuff. I can't even imagine him singing Oh Well - MAYBE Hypnotized..Rattlesnake Shake?? Come on man!
