Extending The Dance 3 weeks in Europe would not have been a big deal. It just shows how much she reluctantly went along for a 6 week tour.
I think the Stevie and Lindsey drama every album and tour wore thin with everyone the older they got.

Lindsey and Stevie fought like cats and dogs with OWTS too. It was out in the open on stage in Miami in early 2015. During her Gypsy speech she was telling the story touring with CCR and how their car broke down. Lindsey made his guitar or pedal or some other device honk twice like a car horn. Stevie stopped mid sentence and looked towards Lindsey and said "Who did that? Did you do that? I guess my story is going on too long" She stopped mid story and walked away. That was a little glimpse of their antics that spilled out on stage.

Yes JC told george that he "would be remiss in his duty to Chris" if he didn't have a back up plan in case things got messy. I believe george told me he'd been the back up for a couple of tours, because sometimes john really struggled. (i wonder if john even knew about this back up plan.) The later tours, after the cancer diagnosis/surgery etc he seemed better.

from what i heard, chris and john both had little patience for the tiffs or larger eruptions between L&S. how many years can you hear the same fights?? no progress was made.

can't say i blame LB for wanting her to wrap things up lol.
