Say You Will also didn't make too much of a splash with critics or the public in terms of sales back then. They aim to please the crowds in these shows and I guess they assume the broader audience just doesn't want to hear anything from SYW when they could hear Rumours (sans IDWTK) again.

Case in point: The resurrection of Seven Wonders for OWTS. Her comment on it was something along the lines of "Thank god for American Horror Story, because now we can play this song again!" Uh... what? Was someone stopping you from playing Seven Wonders all this time? It's a fine reason to bring the song back, but you didn't play it all this time because it wasn't a mega hit or on Rumours? Just play what you want!
Well that's just sad. And doesn't say much for them as "artists".

That's why I've been so proud of BuckVie. EIGHT new songs played live is remarkable.

Stevie refusing to record new stuff is indicative of the problem.
