Stevie is also 60, in Fleetwood Mac, plays no instrument, has no family or children to take care of, and yet we're supposed to put her on her own lowered expectations scale? I just don't think that's ok at all. I love her guys (she's why I'm here), but she needs to lose the attitude, entitlement, and get her game back on. I mean, Ann Wilson is also a woman about her age, she's been in the business about as long, she's had weight and health battles too, she is a single mother of young children, yet she totally rocks out and belts vocals like she's in her 20s, with gratitude and a smile. I just want Stevie to be happy again, for her to be comfortable in her skin, and to enjoy being in the band the way that the rest of the Macsters are these days. It's really not too much to ask at all...

Well admittedly La Nicks did have a little help back then other than just youth.  I agree with the rest of your post.She just does not seem happy or grateful to be performing on this tour.I believe she can still put some of the old energy into a performance when she feels like it as in her recent,wonderful take on Red River Valley but when she is not so inspired to do so it is a disappointing thing to witness.
