I saw them in april 2009. Yes Lindsey's energy was THE show. Stevie sang fine, and including Storms in the setlist was a beautiful surprise. But she looked a bit tired. I think it was the 26th date so probably the tour was taking its toll. However Lindsey did look vitalized and played great.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think in the 70s and 80s the tours role was to support the record sales. Nowadays the tours are the point in the business model so they have to perform a great show. Then the records are losing their crucial role.
