I thought it was okay. My conception of "great vocals" isn't someone singing full-chest through every single song, which is essentially what Stevie's been doing since those days. Her vocals have lost a lot of their old pliability: their inclination to swoop & swirl & soar & dive in terms of both tonality & dynamics. (How often do you hear her whisper during the live performance of a song these days?)
So it's just a question of personal preference: I happen not to really prefer her middle-age voice, so I left the shows after I had had enough for the evening. I think I've been leaving early ever since (except for this year & the final year of Fleetwood's tour, when I didn't go at all).
