I tell this story all the time but I saw Stevie get so pissed at Lindsey on the OWTS tour in Miami. She was telling her LONG Gypsy story and was rambling in the old and early days they opened for CCR and they could not get to the gig because their car broke down. Lindsey clearly was thinking...you need to cut this long and rambling story off so when she said the car broke down, he somehow made his guitar honk like a car horn. Stevie stopped mid-sentence and looked at Lindsey and said......did you just do that? Why did you do that? My story is too long? She abruptly stopped the story and just walked away when the music to Gypsy started. The rest of the night she never even looked at Lindsey and it was one of the shows where Stevie did not come out to talk to the audience after the concert.
I get frustrated because literally EVERY show is on youtube but for some reason not much of Miami OWTS and I just wish someone captured this moment because it was jaw dropping and gave an insight to the friction between them. Never saw a verbal confrontation on stage before. She was pissed.

it's clear that she has no sense of humor when it comes to herself. and while she might be hypersensitized and way-over-the-top annoyed when Lindsey gently teases her, he's not the only one she gets so annoyed with. remember how she hated Rod Stewart by the end of their tour? i always remember that one interview with her and Rod before the tour started and Rod was gently teasing about their old crazy days. she did not think that was a joke. she has a narrative about herself that she doesn't allow anyone to tease or joke about. (and every time she gets pissed at someone for some innocent joke, the loudest of her fans throw tons of hate at that person. to this day you will see Stevie fans posts how Rod "disrespected her."
and the same about Lindsey teasing during Gypsy speech. probably why she made sure he was not on 2018 tour - she wanted full respect and attention of everyone on stage. not some silly teasing between Lindsey, Christine and Mick while she's telling some half-made-up story from the past.
being at too many FM shows between 3013 and 2015, i saw bunch of similar Stevie-Lindsey "confrontations" on stage. she hated when he paid attention to anyone but her. he was not there for the fans, he was there for her and that fact he didn't want to get that obviously drove her nuts. everyone else apparently got the message after the firing ("you can be next!") so on fakewood 2018-19 tour they were all quiet and easting her sh*t. therefore, it was such a "happy" tour, as long as you don't hear backstage stories.
