The same thing isn't happening for the 2018 tour. The Free Falling cover has become as expected as Stand Back at this point. Nobody will give a sh*t about that tour in 2028. It will be noted by being Christine's last tour and Lindsey's absence.

As a fan of Christine’s blues playing, the 2018 tour brought back something that had been missing since the BTM tour. The way she and Mike traded solos on “Black Magic Woman” and “Tell Me All the Things You Do” was like going back to when Danny and Bob were in the band. It’s telling that her grand return to the stage was “Get Like You Used To Be” with Mick’s blues band and that her final appearance ever was singing “Stop Messin’ Round” at the Peter Green tribute. For whatever reason, that dimension of Christine’s playing always got shelved when Lindsey was in the band, but it was something that was meaningful to Christine. So, for me, 2018 filled in the one missing element of Christine’s return.
