I actually agree with you. They rely more on the background singers now to beef up their harmonies, while they are capable of creating those harmonies on their own, but it takes an immense effort, and their vocal abilities aren't exactly up to par with what they were 40 years on. It's just the nature of business these days. The market now demands a more slick, polished and paced show. It's become a standard practice among big, old vintage bands to rely on back up players and technology to pick up the slack.

I would love to see a tour with just the 5, now that Christine is back and they have no excuse for needing a keyboardist or back-up singer to fill in her gap...

But it will never happen.
