It's a little bit of everything. Johnny and Les both have good points. Stevie's not doing the same fan interaction on the FM tour as she does on her own, out of deference to other band members. She's always been more standoffish with the band so it doesn't seem like she's trying to dominate the spotlight. I don't think she's intentionally throwing all the attention specifically to Lindsey; perhaps just a little bit.
That still doesn't explain her very withdrawn posture this tour. I think it's a physical issue, too. Bending down to get things, and to touch fans, night after night, would be harmful if she's had recent hip problems. Can you image after a 40 city tour? Now Europe and Australia...hoooeeee!
If she's different on dates she feels less pain, many fans will feel slighted if she isn't bending over at THEIR show. I'm glad to know she's taken a few things from people within her reach. Asking fans to give her gifts to Lindsey tells me she's unable to take the physical punishment to go after them, so she asks him to carry the load in that department. He gets to show off more, haha, but I also see him doing it as a favor to her.
Hopefully this is a temporary thing this tour until she gets her hip fixed. Otherwise, could this be the end of rushing the stage for EOS? God, say it isn't so!
