I'm not saying it's impossible they put on a lackluster show, but unless all of them are suffering from stomach flu, I don't think it can be as unrelentingly dismal as he painted it.

It strikes me as one of those reviews where the writer comes up with his premise ahead of time, and where actually seeing the show is just a formality before writing the review. Something like, "You know,
Rumours is just the perfect album in every way. Wouldn't it be ironic if a tour designed to celebrate that album 35 years later was 180 degrees from that?" Then he trots off to the show to make sure it lives up (or down, rather) to his brilliant notion.
