Are there any decent concert reviewers/music writers left?

Seeing all of these concert reviews for Stevie's 2023 dates all focus on her storytelling and heartache over the loss of Christine. Are all of these critics not aware that she's been talking up a storm between songs for the past 10 years?

It would be refreshing for somebody to do their homework and actually acknowledge this is the same Stevie show that she's been doing forever now.

Then again, Billy Joel has been doing the same show since 94 and somehow packs stadiums.

Just because many people here read every single mention of Stevie, Lindsey, Christine, etc or watch every video put on YouTube, doesn’t mean most people do. We Ledge members are hardly representative of the real world. So to answer your question- no, most critics or reviewers don’t notice Stevie’s shows are the same. They’re writing about their reaction to the show, as well as the audience’s reactions; they don’t care if she sang the same song list 3 nights previous in a different city.

The reviews are biased now and are used to sell tickets. I think it was Elle that said, these people are paid to review the show.
