The only really good things about that tour were the deepish to subterranean cuts that got a final airing under the Mac banner.
Looking through that auction catalogue is quite heartbreaking.

That's right. Brett was openly neutral in the Stevie vs Lindsey feud and Stevie had him axed from the tour.
They practiced many older Mac tunes for the 2018. But only Hypnotized, Black Magic Woman, and a Danny Kirwan song made it for a few nights. Black Magic Woman stayed in the set the entire tour because Stevie sang it of course.
Chris was not playing much on the 2017 Buck/Vie tour but by 2018 it may have been less.
I love that she kept going. She really seemed to enjoy touring again. She had some frogs in her voice many nights and was playing less but she kept going and soaking it all up.
