I mean everything from the Tusk fight and the Say Goodbye staring to the Landslide finger clinch, to Mick's band introductions.
For the SYW tour he said he didn't know where any of them would be without each other. John was the backbone and most times Mick kissed Lindsey and . . . this time around, they really reduced the mushiness.
Now, it may creep back in towards the end of the tour and when it comes I will welcome it, but the strategic decision to avoid it was an interesting one. I don't know why they did it, but I like to think about their thought processes.

Me too and it is especially interesting considering Lindsey's quote about Stevie and Mick coming to him talking about mic positioning and whatnot. It does lead one to believe that perhaps
Lindsey is the one who put the kabosh on the staged SnL stuff.
Personally, I think some of it will come back later in the tour and Stevie seems to be taking it to the extreme, by avoiding much interaction with LB at all.
