This doesn't really make sense to me. Yes, most of the casual fans aren't buying albums, but she does have to keep them coming back for the next tour.
I know many people here would prefer Stevie embrace small crowds, but honestly, Stevie loves being a rock star. And I think she (and her people) realize that being a rockstar entails catering to the largest fan base possible.

I would love to see Stevie do a tour where she starts off with an acoustic set featuring just her and and a small quartet or something then she could add the full band for some slightly unplugged numbers and then she could rock the house at the end.
Here would be a great setlist
1. Bella Donna
2. Dreams
3. Enchanted
4. For What It's Worth
5. In Your Dreams
6. It's Only Love
7. Sleeping Angel
8.Twisted
9. Crystal
10. Love Is
Full Band Comes out
11. Secret Love
12.. New Orleans
13. Rhiannon Piano/Rock Version
14. Talk To Me
15. Rooms on Fire
16. Moonlight
18. Annabell Lee
Full Rock on mode
19. Blue Denim
20. Stand Back
21. Fall From Grace
22. Edge of 17
23. Sisters of The Moon
24. Rock and Roll
25. Has Anyone Ever Written
I think this setlist would please many people. Has some of her staples, some deep cuts and some new material.

Many of these would be great to see, yeah. It will never happen, and this set is almost twice as long as it should be, but it would be cool, sure.
Of course, I think many of these songs aren't played simply because they'd be too difficult live. I know that's why "Talk to Me" and "Bella Donna" aren't in there, at least.

I have always wondered why allot of her sets are under 14-18 songs when you consider she has enough material to play for much longer.
|
Because she's 63 and performing on her own is draining?
I think the schedule is very hard on her. She seems to often cancel when she plays too many dates too close together. I can't imagine that adding ten songs to the set would be a great thing for her.
