I agree but when you don't like someone sometimes you take the bait and do something you regret. As much as Stevie and Lindsey may be in a cold war on stage, this was the first time I saw her confront him vocally in front of a crowd. Asking him if he did that. Then WHY did you do that? Then inferred it was because her banter was too long. The pot boiled over that night. Other nights it still exists but they can hide behind the microphone and performance.

I've always found it hilarious that practically EVERY NIGHT on that tour (OWTS) Christine and John would sit on an amp and have an entire conversation while Stevie rambled on about Gypsy....yet a few hand gestures at Music Cares sent her into a Chernobyl meltdown....or Lindsey's added sound effect Miami caused a riff.
I wonder if all of her anger and resentment comes from knowing deep down, almost nobody in that bad appreciates her 15 minute soapbox story times between songs. It's like Nelly from Little House on the Prairie. She knew she was disliked, but it didn't stop her from continuing the same behavior.

If the band was a democracy, as Stevie always said it was, the other four should have taken the initiative as a “voting” bloc and told Stevie to limit the anecdotal break to a few minutes in order to keep the momentum going. A concert needs pacing (that quality missing from the 1980 live album). That way, Lindsey wouldn’t have to bear the brunt of Stevie’s selfish airhead wrath. A band always has work to do that isn’t directly related to music, and Mac used to be so good at that in the Seventies but really got terrible at it. It caused a lot of problems over the years. You need a united front to solve the little problems, or they’ll fester.
Had the no-nonsense John Courage managed the OWTS tour, Stevie’s anecdotage would have been immediately dealt with. Her overlong stories would have been “tale-docked.”

Now in order to do the ultimate payday, you need for the last time ever, the Rumours 5 on stage. Will she take the bait? If you take that bait, you can do the 30 largest markets in the US at stadium size, 10 Markets in Europe and 6-8 largest markets in AU / NZ with about 60 dates over 12 months with a huge multiplier on margin vs cost and massive guarantees. We will see if it happens. Lindsey will jump at it, not because he needs to, but because he wants to, but it is all up to Stevie. |

Ultimate payday - don't count your chickens before they've hatched. John has said he's done touring, and Christine will be knocking on 80. I DO think you'd be right if time was on their side. But it's not. They're officially old AF now.

I was recently reading a 1990 interview with Stevie and even in her klonopin haze she was attacking Mick for performing way too many shows. She was fully in the Mac and committed but Mick saw the end coming and booked a very long world tour with an insane amount of European stops including Australia before the Mac even stepped foot in the States. Today that would never happen. Stevie would have veto power over any touring period. It just was refreshing to hear her go after Mick while still doing her duty within the group. Now the shoe is on the other foot. Stevie is no longer the slave to Mick and his endless shows but he now is a slave to Stevie......firing members, hiring members, and doing whatever the f**k she wants. It truly is $tevie Mac.

I remember in 1997, they were making fun of them for being old.

I think it's highly unlikely we'll see a farewell tour, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if we got a farewell pay-per-view, streaming download, and/or DVD. Forgive me if this has been suggested already in this thread, but I just popped in to the board for the first time in a longish while, and I simply don't have the stamina to read the whole thread. lol
