Except that they were playing arenas, not state fairs or small amphitheaters.

Hypothetical. Stevie plays a 20,000 arena show that’s half full and only half the crowd is there to see Stevie. That’s 5000 people paying to see Stevie. LBCM headline a 4000 seat arena down the road that’s 3/4 full. That’s 3000 people for 2/3 of Fleetwood Mac’s vocalists.

That’s the reality with Fleetwood Mac.
