What if... Lindsey never left the band

I felt that way when I saw them. Mick said that Stevie was used to having LB there and just didn't feel it on stage without him. Maybe that was it or maybe it was her drug state at the time, but there was a distraction. On stage together, but not together. The thing about the Rumours line up is that they not only seemed tied, but interested in one another. And I'm not saying interested in just a positive way. Sometimes they may be interested negatively like, "What is that freak doing now?" But there are often times when they are singing and playing and also seem locked into each other, for good or bad. They were aware of each other on stage and not just moving by and past each other. After the Rumours line up, the closest you would get to that vibe was between Rick and Billy jamming together, rather than feeling it through the whole band.

Yes, Desiree is an example of what Rick and Stevie can do and it sounds fantastic, but I wasn't getting that rush from them when they shared a stage.
