Nashville was a night I'll never forget. I was 4th row, but made my way to the front row, pushing the dozen roses I bought Christine to just an inch away from her toes.

because i've never seen Lindsey so tense as at BuckVie shows, and i have a pretty good frame of reference - all together i've seen him at over 50 solo, Mac and Buckvie shows. at BuckVie, he shouldered it all and made sure she sounds good and is comfortable, and that show gels well. he did get more relaxed as the tour went on. no wonder he cried at the end of their last show of the tour.

that has nothing to do with him being tense or worried how it will all turn out - like he was during BuckVie shows.

the only solo tour i saw where he had a small tiny fraction of that tenseness he had on BuckVie tour was at the first few One Man shows, where he seemed unsure how will it all turn out. once when first few shows were out of the way though, he was completely relaxed on that tour, as he usually is. i've seen the first, many in the middle, and the last show of Solo Anthology tour in 2018. he looked relaxed from the first show to the last.

I can only speak from my two experiences on the Buckingham McVie tour.
Early on I saw them in Detroit on 4th of July weekend. The venue was a beautiful theatre so the crowd was pretty tame and in their seats for the majority of the first half of the show. It had a much more buttoned-up feel to it because of the crowd and setting. You can hear it in the recordings/videos there are times where they are speaking between songs and you can hear a pin drop. Then I saw them months later at a casino outside of Cleveland. That was a very relaxed show with, Lindsey really egged Christine on to tell the whole story of how she got back into the band. The crowd was much looser and it felt more like what you'd expect a rock concert to feel like. By far my favorite show of the two I saw.

It's OK for the members of the band minus Stevie to start on a project, woo her to be part of it...but the unspoken rule was that none of it would be released unless she chose to participate. In her eyes, I think she saw it as an ultimate betrayal that 4/5ths of the band released something without her, even though it was her choice. NOT calling it a Fleetwood Mac record wasn't enough. The whole scenario is a prime example of the dynamic shift that occurred with the return of Christine. Before her return, Stevie had a ton of leverage to axe projects. Suddenly with Lindsey having an ally in the band (Christine) Stevie could now be somewhat outnumbered in her axiom of power. Really, the return of Christine was a threat to her in a lot of ways. She even passively-aggressively bemoaned having to do ANOTHER fleetwood mac tour right after the 2013 tour wrapped up. And all of this really made the narrative of Lindsey holding up the band from moving forward absolutely hysterical. However, casual fans or folks who didn't know better took the bait without a problem.
