During the FM 1975 tour which was 5 months (about) after their last BN gig, they sounded so much smoother and stronger. Stevie's twang was gone and she sang with more lung capacity. I think Lindey was playing and singing much better also. They definitely were around much better musicians and a great vocalist in Chris, but I really wonder if they didn't get some "help" before going out on the road in 1975.

I've honestly noticed that, too. In fact, even on the record I remember hearing intonation issues. I always wondered if I had a bad copy or transfer.
