Let's face what??? Let's face the fact that the press could've cared less about Lindsey and Chris.

Really? Have you read the old concert reviews dating from the white album tour all the way up through the Dance tour?

Stevie, however, was still doing a few things, but after the flop that was SA (even though it performed ten times better than OOTC) and her weight gain, The Dance was all about seeing if she still had it. The general public viewed the reunion as a chance to see Stevie, not Lindsey or Chris.

If that's how the Dance appealed to you, then great. Seeing if Stevie still had it had little to do with why it appealed to me, not only because I wasn't that concerned about Stevie's "it" factor, but because I was really excited about seeing Lindsey and Christine in particular. Most of all, I was really excited about all five of my classic lineup together again.

Do you honestly think that the general public viewed the reunion as a chance to finally see Lindsey or Chris? I think not.

For some, you bet.

There is no disputing Stevie is the most popular member. Always has been. Probably always will be. My point was that what, by your estimation, might test the patience of some fans at a show can also be the main reason that others might go to that same show.
