I agree 100%. This is very well said and speaks to the enormous strengths (and selflessness, arguably) of Christine as a musician. She is absolutely vital to the success of Fleetwood Mac, going back to before the White Album as well. Mystery to Me anyone?

When I saw "On With The Show" I was still amazed at how much of the concert is still the Stevie/Lindsey show. Now, granted, they are both incredibly talented and I am a major fan of each of them. And, to be fair, Christine's show personality is rather calm in comparison (not much she can do from behind the piano other than play and sing). However, on a tour with the great return of Christine McVie, the show itself is still dominated by the other two. And, judging by Christine's enthusiasm each night, she seems perfectly happy with that. She seems to truly "get" what it means to be in a band - musicians should strengthen each other rather than take the spotlight. I listen to "Sisters Of The Moon" from this tour and it is miles ahead of the 2013 version for the sole reason that Christine's playing adds a little something extra to the song (especially at the beginning). "I'm So Afraid" becomes even more grandiose with her organ. Lindsey and Stevie, while certainly the stars of the band, like the spotlight - which is just fine. However, out of the three vocalists and songwriters, Christine seems to appreciate the group dynamic and collaborative nature of a band more than the other two; certainly, this appreciation is evident in her studio work and songwriting as well.

It's so fortunate that Christine fell into Fleetwood Mac, which has always been an ensemble band with several lead singers/songwriters. It's a configuration that perfectly suits and appeals to Christine's style. Despite her brief solo ventures, she doesn't possess the same motives that Lindsey and Stevie share.
