Probably. I mean, everybody in that situation would gain some confidence sooner or later: Lindsey certainly did. He blossomed as a performer throughout the Rumours Tour & was the onstage leader for the Tusk Tour & after. When people are applauding & cat-calling & whistling for you, your confidence is going to blossom. Plus you get into the swing of things with your new band: the first few months of touring aren't going to be as relaxed as the months after that. You get into the groove & you're able to play on autopilot & you don't have to worry about technical things that you worried about at first. It's just like any job: You learn how to do it & you learn to expend less & recoup more.

As far as the costume, I take Stevie pretty much at face value: She said Margi designed an outfit (the black chiffon outfit) for her that she could wear every night & accessorize & look really cool in & not have to worry about. There must be something really confidence-inducing about that outfit because look at all the women (& men) who dress up in it--for Fleetwood Mac concerts & fan gatherings & grocery shopping. I think thousands of people really love wearing that particular outfit, so part of the reason must be that it makes them feel cute, sexy, alluring, comfortable, &c.

So which band is Fleetwood Mac opening for on this Capitol Centre video? And did it really take place in May? I thought it was in September.
