I don't necessarily think that's true. They've all been talking about a good chunk of songs that they always have to play. Lindsey has his standards that he plays every single time just like everyone. I don't deny that Stevie has a hand in it - but I don't think the blame rests squarely on her shoulder's. She's not holding a gun to anyone's head. I think they're all lazy and fearful that the audience (most of which will be made up by the casual baby boomer fans, let's be honest) won't be happy if they don't play those 15 or so "classics" that they feel they have to play.
