Just some manic antics while standing in place will suffice these days.

He's not been "manic" as far as I know. You would have to ask David or ChiliD, those guys have seen far more of LB than I have. In '75 to '77 all his effort was seemingly put into the singing/playing as far as I know. '79 he was pretty wild at times but still focused. 1982 produced his most wild times I think but still the playing was amazing, strutting around and stuff is hardly manic, his guitar work was at it's most creative live I believe in '82. In 1992/93 he had the gimic of seven guitarists or whatever it was but he was still pretty focused. In 1997 he was pretty focused on the job too. 2003/4 for the most part he was. I'm So Afraid got out of hand a couple of times and the Come antics were some kind of novelty act I guess. Very out of character and I've heard quite a few fans of LB express embarassment at it. The Come solo's were really nothing a moderately good guitarist couldn't attempt. He couldn't do those stage antics and play something tough too. I'm just confused by why he did it. I guess it's just some kind of rebellion. I'd also add I believe he is far fitter now than he was in '82 so I don't understand the thinking there.

No. You need to expand your thinking here Chester.

From what I understand (maybe a Stevie fan can add some info) she refused to be onstage during that song for whatever reasons, maybe it's the lyrical content or it's his antics I don't know personally. I did notice from my experiences it was the song chosen by the crowds at every gig I was at to go for a drinks/pee break. She could have sung on it I'm sure. She sings on ISA so whats the difference? Apart from Lindsey's little spotlight stint with Big Love or Go Insane she would be expected to stay onstage really.
