Regarding the whole debate about the eb and flow of Stevie's solo career...one thing is for sure.
As said in her own behind the music episode, her solo career was tanked by 1996. The only reason she bounced back was due to The Dance tour, end of story. The Enchanted Box set and tour NEVER would of happened without that tour happening first. It would be interesting to think about where her career would be now if the 1997 reunion hadn't happened.

They would have been less viable without Stevie, but they would have been way more viable compared to what Fleetwood Mac had become. Christine and Lindsey had enough songs between them that they could have still had a viable, credible set without Stevie. However, none would have had anything close to The Dance.

My point was, the immediate bounce that she got from the Dance Tour most likely wouldn't of happened in the same way if she had to do it on her own. And quite frankly, she had already been trying to quit smoking, drop some weight, get a makeover on and off between 1990-1994...and the comeback still hadn't happened. Just an observation.

It's a two way street. She wasn't exactly viable at the time of the dance reunion. People somehow forget that. She was playing on a stage that was a converted semi truck bed in st pete beach the year before. Not exactly killing it at the local amphitheatre.

That Fender Rhodes repetition needs that band play. Welcome to the Room with the percussion and tropical guitar. If there was a producer who thought to have those elements come together, God bless that person. |

However, the Smashing Pumpkins and Hole covering her songs created a renewed interest in Stevie. So, the time was right for her image makeover.

While the other four could have done something moderately successful without Stevie, Christine was clearly doing the reunion as her grand sendoff, so there would be no way to follow it up (not that Lindsey did, anyway). If forced to be a band without either of the ladies, the three guys would have become a theater/package tour band. So, in that sense, Stevie has saved them, too. It’s a mutually beneficial relationship.

btw i still think Hole cover of GDW is the best version of that song. (sorry LB and glass breaking, still not as good as Hole!)
