I always liked her voice better than I did Stevie's. One of my favorites.
Two completely different voices. Christine McVie sings in a much higher register. Either second soprano or first alto. Steve Nicks has a remarkably low and husky voice. She might even qualify as a tenor. I like them both. Said news about Christine McVie. I didn't even know she was sick. Funny how her death comes as they are playing her song "Everywhere" almost, well, everywhere, due to that car commercial.I always liked her voice better than I did Stevie's. One of my favorites.
Friend of mine played keyboards for Fleetwood Mac and backed up Christine for years. As we all get older gets harder to keep up playing especially on some of their tracks, he would be off to the side playing with her. He really enjoyed working with her and playing music with her.that's unfortunate. also somewhat surprising to me, as you seem to get to a lot of concerts.
I think I only saw Fleetwood Mac one time without her. It was a good concert, but it didn't sound quite the same. The last time I saw the band they were without Lindsey B., and while I missed his presence in Go Your Own Way, that was about the only time I wished he was on the stage.
Underrated member of the band. A member of the forgotten era that linked the Peter Green days to the Lindsay/Stevie days.....

quite different voices, and quite different personas on and off the stage.

As you say, quite different personas on and off the stage. Stevie was the rock star and Christine was the very talented musician who often did some of her best work behind the scenes just keeping the other explosive personalities from imploding. I saw Stevie a month or so ago in concert on Daniel Island, SC. Even in her 70's she can still "bring it" and carry a show on her own (accompanied by some very good backup singers and musicians).quite different voices, and quite different personas on and off the stage.
Wish I had seen them live. Only have 2 of their albums, but one, Bare Trees, is a definite favorite of mine.
When the white flame in us is gone
And we that lost the world's delight
Stiffen in darkness
Left alone
To crumble in our separate night
When your swift hair is quiet in death
And through the lips corruption
Thrust to still the labor of my breath
When we are dust, when we are dust
