You could tell in LB's body language during DR how he feels about Stevie. While they did have some great performances, adding Christine really re-energized them. Perhaps, Stevie will let that translate into the studio. (That's my first choice of what I would like to see.)
They need more output and LB and CM as artists have recognized that and have written many new songs for their band. The more Stevie doesn't want to make new music with this band, the more it was about the huge paycheck she scooped up for doing this tour.

I wonder if Lindsey and Christine's creative relationship is what makes Stevie so reluctant. She's seen how well they work together- could she now feel like an outsider? Has she reached a point where she's too self-conscious of her own songwriting in relation to the other two. She knows she probably cant write with Christine or Lindsey. Does she feel like the gooseberry? (whether she should feel that way or not).
Its funny how these same discussions keep going around in circles over several threads- for what its worth I wouldn't mind Fleetwood Mac playing to significantly smaller venues so long as MJCL are there. Half-filled roadhouses and smokey casinos are just up my street and would probably be a lot cheaper- could go to more shows.
