I appreciate this insight. I did not know it was known that Stevie dropped Seven Wonders for the perceived audience reception. I always thought it was due to the key it was played in and the song's pace. I personally thought she sounded like she was exhausted when she sang it and had to push herself through it. To me, Sisters had no vocal standouts other than the 2013 and 10/6/14 versions at The Garden.
I would guess Songbird and Sisters of the Moon were not played at The Classic concerts because of either the time budgeted for their whole set or a desire to keep the set somewhat moving.
