I find it very odd that the band didn't have her appear onstage until the 2nd song. In a concert setting with a new lineup, any band's goal with the FIRST SONG of the set is to introduce the "face" of whatever the musical unit is. Stevie could have easily stepped out and played tambourine or any percussion instrument on the opening song "Get Like You Used To Be" (perhaps even provided some harmony vocals on the blues number).
It makes me wonder. At this point in the band's journey, was their intention anything more than to use Stevie as a background vocalist or "special guest" singer? One thing is clear, it doesn't seem like she was getting much respect.
