- Christine cannot sing anymore
- new guys are better than Buck and the whole band is refreshed and re-energized
- usually not real mention of John
- the band is happy happy happy - and, oh so happy!
you can kinda see where the wind is blowing from - Stevie, Mick, "new band" - great, Christine - sucks, John - no mention. which makes it even more funny how Chris is playing band's game when Stevie and Mick seem to be throwing her under the bus.
these recent east coast reviews (Atlanta, DC, AC, NYC) have obviously thrown that script into the trash bin and seem pretty matter-of-fact. they generally describe the show as - flat and just ok
- missing Buck and his energy
- set around Nicks as show's centerpiece
- new guys are ok but outta place
- don't generally mention Mick, John or Christine - guess not much change from previous tours in their performances.
both kinds of reviews seem to focus on 2 covers as being the highlights of the FM show and note how weird is that.
Caveat: i've only seen reviews that mention LB.

More and more of the recent reviews are mentioning LB more
