At some point the song became neutered and a shadow of what it once was, but during this period Stevie breathed fire into it.

There is truth in what you are saying. I don't think Lindsey would ever admit he was jealous of Stevie but you know he was. Didn't Chris once admit shortly before her passing that she was a tad jealous of Stevie in the beginning. Did you see that Ann Wilson interview that was trending today how jealousy broke up the original Heart band. The Wilson sisters were the stars and no one would ever interview or care to talk to the other members. It made me think of Fleetwood Mac. I think it would be worse for Heart because they were not just 2 girls in a band, they were family. So I think it felt like a family band and it drove the other members nuts which is why they had changes in bass, guitar, and drums from the original members.
Maybe its just me but one of the best moments in the Mirage concert is the beginning of YMLF. Right before Chris starts to sing Stevie comes on stage and it looks like Chris is giving side eye to Stevie. I wish I could have read her mind.
The band tried not to let Stevie become the lead singer with the media and it clearly drove them nuts. Stevie never had a lead single off any of Mac albums. Besides one side of Tusk, Stevie never had the first song either side A or B of an album.
