Arguably, Stevie is drawing
comparable crowds and is even playing the same venues as the Mac- Xcel Center, Mohegan Sun, etc. And one could also make the case that Stevie, by touring relentlessly in between Mac projects, has been out there helping to maintain/sustain/generate interest in the band, thereby helping to pack the arenas when they do come around. Sure, Lindsey's been plenty busy since 2006, but he is more prone to prolonged absences, which is not a good way to curate a fanbase.
