Does this seem as bad to you as it does to me? She sounds awful IMO.

yes--does not sound good to me. Very, very hard to replace Buckinghams singing, playing, and energy
Not blown away by this but I'm still interested depending on the setlists.
In an interview a couple months ago, Stevie said there are 10 songs they have to play (these being 2)....I assume those are songs from FM, Rumours, Tusk & Mirage. Hopefully that 10 only includes about 3 where Lindsey was the main lead vocalist as I wasn't blown away by Neil's take on The Chain.
Maybe do some of the best stuff from the Bob Welch era that they continued to play in 1975-1976, including some of Christine's great songs.....Spare Me a Little, Hypnotized, Why, Station Man, plus Green Manalishi & a few early choice cuts. Throw in Stop Dragging My Heart around and something from Neil's work and I'd go see them
Just re-watched most of that. Finn did better on The Chain than my first impression. Stevie has lost the upper range of her vocals (at 70 that's understandable)....it wasn't good....Mike just seemed out of place on Gypsy. Seeing this group do mostly FM songs from 1975-1982 would not get me there (even though I think FM & Rumours are two all-time great albums),but hopefully they do a bunch of others.
Stevie didn't sound great, but the rest of the band did.
As a HUGE Neil Finn fan (and a Mike Campbell one, too), I've been dying to hear the new band. I'd really love to hear some new material from them. The clip I watched (Gypsy) does sound like a good band just running through an old tune by somebody else. The talent - the potential is all here! Re Stevie's voice: not meaning to be an ingrate or anything, but I've never thought she was a talented singer. She is Stevie Nix, though!
