I saw Fleetwood Mac in 2004 and last month. Actually thought that Stevie looked and sounded better this time. She's always had poor vision and hurt her foot this year. But she was still wearing those heels. (I am in my 40s and couldn't walk in those heels let alone dance in them!)

Madonna needs to be able to dance and still do heavy choreography. That's what people expect of her. She can't stay in one spot and do a ballad while still keeping people entertained. But Stevie is able to do so.

Australians are very critical of and have high expectations of live performers. The reviews here were generally good. The audiences here were very pleased.

Christine and Stevie have likely both had lifts but haven't overdone it. They're not chasing something unrealistic. Christine is a no nonsense woman and not the type to fuss over her looks 24/7. If you have good skin it all helps.

Stevie's recent comments seem to indicate that she wants to continue.

Incidentally (I hope people don't find this disrespectful) a friend of mine saw FM more than 30 years ago and said it was one of the worst shows she had ever been to due to very poor performances. I think this was when everyone in the band was really messed up. I saw a video from that era and looks fairly much as my friend described - very sub standard. In some ways I think they may be better now, because they take better care of themselves.
