So within the medley were two full songs. I didn't mind it in that context. Although I'm sure many would've loved to hear full versions of the "bits".
I think there are blending possibilities like with Stevie solo, Dreams and OTR.

For the group, you could definitely "sample" Tango in the Night into another FM song very smoothly, in the "bits" you described.
