I don't know if they are getting along now. After Pittsburgh, I didn't get that impression, but Lindsey doesn't always claim they're getting along better than ever.

While they looked close during the promotions for Tango (I mean in photographs and the 7W video), Lindsey's interviews for the most part made it clear there was a chasm and he was also pretty vocal about Stevie's absence from the studio during the recording process. In fact, other than saying that he was glad Mirage wasn't their swan song and he was prouder of Tango, I think he made it clear he wanted to leave. He wasn't really doing a sunshine and roses thing for that. Actually, I believe that the band got upset because he was talking about his unhappiness through the press, sending them a message that way.

They praised The Dance, but all of them, Chris, Lindsey and Stevie still say that was a good, cordial time, even in retrospect.

They said they were getting along during SYW, but Lindsey still says he had a great time during SYW. Just that Stevie left unhappy. In fact, I think during the first part of the tour (when most of the interviews took place), maybe they were having a better time than they did at the end. I don't think it was all good or all bad for the whole 18 months.
