It's weird how that works.

Stevie's not exactly selling out large arenas on her own either.

she may not be selling out large venues...but she plays larger venues with her solo career than the other Mac members...

Yes, but they need each other to sell out the large arenas, it's not all Stevie's presence that makes these shows what they are.

True Dat...they do need each other...

well, if it makes anyone feel any better, this reviewer clearly is neither a SN or a LB fan.

he's pi**ing on both of them at every turn, as much as possible.

while the Dakota may have not been LB's favorite venue (which he apparently said to some aftershow m&g attendants as a reason he omitted to do a SMAP request, and maybe this reviewer overheard that conversation?), the reviews at the time were still raving about his Dakota solo show.

Jon Bream is a crabby music snob who pretty much always has some sort of ridiculous complaint about a show. I've never seen a review of his that didn't have some sort of bitchy critique.

And it was a great venue and I'm very happy I was able to see him play at such an intimate show.

It doesn't change the fact that 90% of the setlist consists of material that is over 25 years old. I think, no matter what, that qualifies as a "sad nostalgia act" per your definition. Although, for some reason, when Lindsey sings an old song, it's not "sad nostalgia," but when Stevie sings an old song, it IS "sad nostalgia."
