What a sad ending. Clinging to shreds of a once great band. And for WHAT? To be embarrassed by your awful 80yo vocals? To play with karaoke tracks? To pretend to dance around the stage when you should be in a wheelchair? To stage fake love, for the sake of some idiot fans?

I'm embarrassed for them. Because it's over, and they can't accept it.

Agree, except that I still can't find the logic of insulting common fans.

TikTok comments sections are FULL of people actively talking about how Lindsey and Stevie are still madly in love and that they need to get back together. Literally, today. In 2023. These people are delusional morons and should be insulted.

And let’s be fair - this isn’t a TikTok thing or a “young people today” thing. Fans for decades have been way too deeply involved emotionally in a relationship that ended 10, 20, 30, 40, and now, nearly 50 years ago. That the band fake played that crap up for years with the inauthentic kissing and hugs is even worse and they deserve even more insults!

Lindsey holding(and kissing) Stevie's hand, WHILE MARRIED WITH THREE CHILDREN, is ridiculous, and I question the sanity of anyone who laps it up.

Sorry if that bugs you. I'm brutally honest.

Hi Homer,
After watching the, uploaded, YouTube concert in Houston, Texas, I have to sadly agree with some of your comments:
I don't know why she doesn't try to recreate the 'Amazing' 'Rumours' version of 'Gold Dust Woman' with the 'American Indian-esk' percussion beat, rather than the embarrassingly long 'crackhead dance'! What is this, even, all about? If she explained the reason she does that, it might be easier for her audience to understand. I feel she could of tried to communicate more with the audience regarding, whether or not, she is, even, trying to get healthy, so we can sympathise with her instead of feeling sorry for her. I compare her, at the moment, with Kylie Minogue and I know she is a 'pop singer', but Kylie treats her fans with respect enough to, at least, try to recreate the original recorded music, allowing for a live music experience. I have only seen her live once, but I was extremely impressed with her professionalism, stage presence and positive attitude. I just wish we could experience this feeling with Stevie as well, for the sake of her reputation and legacy. Just my opinion, of course.

I was at this concert sitting a few feet from the stage. The reverb and harsh sound from the backing tracks created an experience much like sitting in an echo chamber tripping on acid. I left the arena with a migraine headache.

Nonetheless, I was happy to throw my money down for any member of the band that I've been faithfully following for nearly 50 years. There is very little time left, so I'm trying to enjoy the end as best I can. But, oh, those backing tracks are awful.
