That may have been true 1998-2013, when the only other person fronting the band had all of three hit singles, Christine returning changes that equation (shown by the increased demand for tickets for the OWTS tour). While Stevie's had a great career and has the most name recognition, a Fleetwood Mac show without Stevie (with Christine and Lindsey fronting the band) would be a bigger draw than a Stevie solo show at this point.
