I love you Elle, but I don't want more LB or SN solo material, we have WAY enough FM stuff that doesn't get played to lose more to a Stevie or Lindsey old hit. Imagine losing a FM Lindsey deep cut for "Trouble" or a new single like IOOT. That would be lame.

oh we are in complete agreement about Trouble! i wish Lindsey dropped Trouble even from his solo set like he originally intended (guess he must have chickened out).

but IOOT is hardly a hit, and you can even argue whether or not it was a single at all. i can bet that most casual FM fans don't know that song and it was a monster during SWS tour . it needs to come back when he has a backup band and FM could do nicely for that . but i could go for any of SWS rockers and would be a happy camper - e.g., TTWLG, One Take (FM would never have the guts to perform that one, i'm sure!). i guess EOT is more middle-of-the-road, safer, mac-ish song, but wouldn't be my choice.

similarly, i would think one of Stevie's IYD songs done with FM would very much please her fan base (i don't mean Secret Love), and i personally would much rather hear one of the IYD songs than Sara, for example.

also, i really think that doing just one deep cut per songwriter (like they did BC or Storms) is not good enough. i guess I Know I'm Not Wrong, although regularly performed during his solo tours, was LB's deep cut on UL.

so maybe one deep cut that was performed on previous FM tours (such as SOTM or Angel or What Makes You Think You're The One), and another never before performed deep cut would be nice (like WATL!!), for each of the 2 remaining songwriters in the band.

so again - i'm not saying replace LB deep cut with IOOT - i'm saying do both IOOT and a LB deep cuts. same for SN.

see, that's exactly what i'm talking about when i'm saying more than just 1 "deep cut" - so we agree again! yes to all 3 of these; some examples i can think of:

• it would be amazing if they'd do one of the new songs that didn't come out yet (or they can do old one that never came out - Deep Dense! ), kinda like Lindsey did Dancing at the beginning of his current tour, but i'm not holding my breath. and i'm not sure that i want to hear something like Dancing instead of IOOT or a Tusk or SYW deep cut, tbh.
• Lindsey has already been doing Stephanie for months now, so if nothing else, that would be an easy choice...
• definitely! again, as you know, Lindsey had been doing 2 SYW songs on his current tour - BTLH and Come. i love both of these. also, Murrow would be spectacular, for example! and i would love to hear Destiny Rules from Stevie's SYW songs, but i know that would not be the first choice for most SN fans, so leaving it up to them. i can live with SYW (the song), i wouldn't like TD.
