Lindsey seems to really be making an effort to be sweet to Stevie and make amends. You can tell it's not scripted either because the things they say to and about each other are not being said again and again at each show and the reactions between all of them appear real.
Like when Lindsey tells Stevie that Fleetwood Mac just did not know they needed a brilliant lead singer. Stevie is so surprised Lindsey complemented her she actually seemed like she was not sure what to say back to him at first, and then when Lindsey goes and hugs her she get's so flustered she can't remember Mick's name.
And when Lindsey tells Stevie he and Mick want to thank her too (oh and don't forget John McVie), Stevie seems again surprised and pleased. Poor thing can't believe that after all this time Lindsey Buckingham is actually complementing her and being nice to her, and sadly I think at that time Lindsey finally saw it too (that Stevie was surprised and pleased he was being nice to her).
Then finally, at the end of the song Without You (Stevie and Lindsey end the song in front of Micks drum kit) Lindsey tells Mick to blow Stevie a kiss (which he does), Stevie's again is pleased and Lindsey walks off with a huge smile.
It's all so sweet it makes me cry. I hope and pray that it continues and that they all can finally put their demons to rest. The whole back story is so, so sad and I do hope they all eventually have a happy ending (whatever that may be).
