Oh man as both a Fleetwood Mac (all eras) and Crowded House fan, hearing this combination of songs brings a tear to my eye. Landslide and Say You Love Me sound closer to their studio originals than they ever did live - never knew Neil could play banjo! I thought Neale Heywoode would be wasted on this tour as third guitarist but blow me he nailed that solo on Landslide. Why they cheated in the BTM era and got Chris to play the solo instead of Rick is anybody's guess.
One gripe - I really don't think Stevie sounds good on Neil's songs. His personality and hers are like chalk and cheese (where as with LB I guess they just had all the wrong things in common).
