Oh gee...I better stop posting to message board dedicated to something I like. Wouldn't want my preferences to get in the way...

A song not done in 30 + years that most people have never seen live and that could damage someone's voice they way they sang it the last time and yet venture to try it now is indeed a risk.
EXACTLY why it's not a risk. To fans like you, the mere fact that they'll do it is amazing in and of itself. For fans like me, even though I've only seen it live on music videos, we realize that it's only going to suck by comparison. Look at what's happened to "Rhiannon" over the years. Do you REALLY think you're not going to get that with SOTM? Hell, I'd prefer "Welcome To The Room...Sara" because it's never been done live, it's never been considered a hit, she can still hit those notes, and it wouldn't tarnish an otherwise impeccable image I have of a song.

You may say you are underwhelmed and I may say I'm excited but you can not say it is not a risk to do that song.
Yes I can. It's been done, and it's been done better. SOTM is perhaps the safest Stevie song on "Tusk". Risky, for me, would be "I Don't Want To Know" or anything after "Tusk" other than "Gypsy" or even "Seven Wonders". "Thrown Down" would even be a bigger risk.

Adding the other new ones (Without You is also new as far as a live song) only sweetens the pot. Sorry you are underwhelmed but I suspect you are under other things as well lol
Yeah, like your mom.
