I think this is a lot of it.

While I would literally evaporate into thin air if he played "Slow Dancing" live, I think that Lindsey really came into his own as an artist with Under the Skin and he himself has said that Seeds We Sow is his greatest work to date. After he parted for Tango, he did a lot of soul searching not only personally but as a creative.

Additionally, we all know his guitar is an extension of himself and he truly values the performance he gives to each audience. If there's one note off, one instrument slightly out of tune, he always stops mid song to start over. So I think it's a mixture of what he feels artistically connected to, what he feels would be a good group of songs for the audience (he's a master of tracklistings, after all), and what he thinks will transfer well onto stage, so that it doesn't sound "shticky'" if you will.

These are just some thoughts, though. I'm probably very wrong.
