I went in to my four FM concerts (on the Say You Will tour) as a Lindsey fan mainly (but also a fan of the band as a whole, although more Christine than Stevie), but I remember being very impressed with what I did see and hear of Stevie--ie I was expecting subpar vocals but that wasn't what she delivered. What she did with the vocals on the last, quiet part of Silver Springs at at least one of the concerts has particularly stuck with me even 14 years on.
So I think there might also be some sort of expectation bias at play--many people might go to a concert barely even knowing who Lindsey is let alone expecting him to have as terrific a stage aura as the likes of Stevie or Mick.
