Admittedly, some of the scheduling was tough and the boot heels were too high. The fact remains that Mama is only human and she will get sick every once in a while. I'm sure she is utterly horrified that she is letting down her fans and her band (as well as untold others impacted financially), but unfortunately there is only so much she can do in a diminished state. Can you imagine how agonizing it must have been to do those last two shows knowing that her voice was a bit out of control? I'm sure she must have died a little when her voice cracked during "Storms." Mama is a singer and just a singer in the live setting, so she has to be on her "A" game when it comes to her vocals. It's not like she can mask mediocre singing with histrionic instrumental prowess (cough, cough). She is a born performer. She loves what she does. She loves her band. So don't heckle her while she is down. Let's all chill and wait until she bounces back before we all start prognosticating the band's demise again.

Good job. We all seem to be forgetting that Stevie has often been tagged as aloof, distant, non-commited and many other adjectives as far back as the Rumours tour. From the shows I have seen (5) she has sounded VERY good and was definitely into the show. I do feel however that she herself does not want the show to be the 'Stevie" show so yeah she does hold a little back. Stevie has always stated that FM performances and solo performances are two different things.

In FM Stevie is (and knows she is) part of the group. Solo is just Stevie so she goes all out, for the most part. And we cannot blame her for the fact that when she walks onto a stage (no matter who it is with) there is an undeniable magnetism that draws you to her. I have heard this from casual fans such as friends, cousins who have come to shows with me. So lets keep our finger crossed that whatever is going on is correctable, and refrain from calling Shady Pines just yet.
