Lindsey's voice on the other hand is too raspy, too crackily and well, too aged to maintain this shouting he's doing. From the get-go of Monday Morning onwards he's totally straining it! Quality over quantity in my opinion. While his guitar playing is still brilliant, his voice is nowhere near the quality it was for SYW tour, I think.

Singing is not about "key". It's about passion. Whatever you think about LB's voice, you can't say he's singing flat and uninspired on any song. THAT'S the whole diffference. Lindsey has NEVER been the great exceptional singer. And he strained his voice on every live tour ever done. It's always been the way he sings. Remember the sixteen screams from Not That funny on Fleetwood Mac Live? At thirty that sounds different then at sixty.
