It's fake and phony to me and I'd rather just sit on my couch and watch a video of the actual band than that. Wearing their garb to an actual FM or SN show takes the weird to a new level.
In Rumours ATL, really Stevie is the only one that plays the entire role. I mean, both bands have John wearing the "English driving cap", but there are no mannerisms being copied(and the one last week played bass WITH A PICK on The Chain). In Rumours ATL, I think Christine wears the old school scarf on her head, but that's it.

And I think people want to see Stevie being Stevie. She is(un****ingfortunately) the draw.
