I think the "problem" that occurs is that so many fans have certain expectations where Stevie is concerned.
They want her to be the same way she was when they saw her in 1977, or 1983, or 1986, or whenever... rather than being a bit more open to the progression and maturation process found in Stevie's performances.
I guess that's why we find some fans feeling she came off as listless or bored, while others are referring to her current performances as exciting and dynamic.
I think she tends to shy away from those manic, out-of-control antics now, because she's no longer a manic, out-of-control person. She still has the passion and intensity, she just displays it in a different way than people except to see.
I also think that Stevie has sort of reverted back to a bit of the 'Buckingham Nicks' mentality, when it seems she took a bit of a more subdued role... playing the yin to Lindsey's yang.
