It's not moot. You "compared" the tours. I was speaking about how after almost three years of inactivity, there's no FM return but instead Stevie doing a jukebox tour. Prerecorded or not, I think a diverse setlist with new songs is artistic and not everything is prerecorded.
I wish he had postponed the tour so Brett could do it. But did Brett quit for good?

But Stevie on her In Your Dreams and 24KG tours, said she's not doing the same songs again; she lied. This tour has same old songs. Same capes. Same video material. Same crackhead dance and spins. It makes her money but is there integrity with that? Do you ever critique Stevie?

When should Lindsey have released this album? He worked on LBCM in 2016. In 2016, I'm guessing they were hoping for Stevie to join them; she didn't decided to tour until late August of 2016. 2017 was dedicated to LBCM.
