"Ran the risk"? I think both the 1997 tour & the 2003/2004 tour were widely perceived as oldies/nostalgia tours. I think that'll be the cloak they hang on any future Fleetwood Mac shows, regardless of the specific context. When old farts mount big tours & big productions for big money, that's the popular view.
Your point about the album sales is problematic to me because by that reasoning, the band should have stopped touring around March 1980 instead of continuing through September.

The addition of "Sara' to the set list was predictable.

It was predictable once one of the band members talked about the strong likelihood of adding it. For the twenty-three years preceding that (except for a few shows in Europe in '88), it was anything but predictable. In fact, it seemed like fantasy (or
phantasy?).
