Agreed.

With you we just pull on your priv parts and you sing all the high notes!!!

I take everyone's points about Stevie not singing the backing vocal in 1980 either, and perhaps Christine being perfectly suited to the part – for a change of pace if nothing else. I still say Stevie's lower and darker voice fits the song better.

That is what I wrote. I mentioned Chris singing on the Tusk and Mirage tours. I said the back up singing stopped post Dance and specifically said OWTS and Buck/Vie
But perhaps you are referring to someone else?

I think Stevie is fine in ISA. And as I said, I even enjoyed listening her in The Dance ISA.

But I couldn't agree more with you about Don't Stop. And when she replaced her in that song during Chris absence years, I couldn't stand it.

I despise the Dance version because Stevie sings on it. (ISA)

I never go back to this track. It's lame compared to Mirage or Tusk tour.

All of The Dance is lame compared to the Tusk and Mirage tours.

Clearly, this has been the case.

But definitely on their first 2 tours together Stevie did sing back up with Lindsey on ISA. I think it's because even though its not on the Buck/Nicks album its sort of a Buck/Nicks song Lindsey was working on during that time.
In Largo on the Wild Heart tour she said she was off stage with Fleetwood Mac for 8 songs and could "do whatever she wanted to do." Gee isn't that nice. She says it like she goes out shopping for shoes during Not That Funny or something. But we know she was shoving copious amounts of blow up her nose.
My theory is that ISA is a Lindsey show piece. I think Stevie and the band could sense her onstage presence was a distraction to Lindsey and the fans during his showpiece. That's a long time to be on stage shaking a tambourine dancing for only one small backing vocal on the second verse. It would be so awkward and can understand why Chris took over.
Its not the first time the Mac has mixed things up in concert. In 1987 during GYOW Stevie was added to the second verse. Maybe without Lindsey they tried to put a Stevie stamp on the song. It really surprised me that when Lindsey came back in 1997 that they continued this tradition, and it went on with OWTS and the 2018 tour.

Stevie simply couldn't hit the high harmony notes on ISA after the Rumours tour the way she had before. Christine still could. Stevie stopped doing most high notes on tour at that point. She couldn't hit the high notes on Dreams live on most of the Rumours tour.

It's only right that you should call it like you see it. (I said that all in monotone)

And she never could reach live the high note of Just like the white winged dove...

I've remember some videos post 1997 of Silver Springs where she sings lower than The Dance record, specially the and don't say that she's pretty

I remember how disappointed I was when I heard her Live 'Stand Back' (solo). I loved the song when it was released.

Despite the dozens of klonopins she may have had in her brain, I like her Stand Back live in the 1987 concert video. She sings great that last long Why don't you taaaaaake me home, and I like the final line even more (lyrics I can't quite understand) much more than the simple "Stand Back!" with which she ended the later tours.

Although I've read several times theories about that concert audio was overdubbed. Anyway it must be with an audio from that year.

I thought FM covered it well. Her solo versions were ehhhhh. For such a great tune!
