I kind of suspect Stevie wouldn't have volunteered to sing one of her solo hits, especially if Lindsay were there.
I also find it very interesting that she sang Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You instead of Landslide.

We just have a difference of opinion. Lindsey was not especially fond of Stevie's successful solo career especially in the mid 80's. FM kept Stand Back in the set because it became a staple in their live shows. I see Lindsey just continuing the tradition in those live shows in the Dance. It made sense to do it live when Christine left since Stevie was given more songs in the set. It gets a big crowd welcome and when the singers got to pick songs for the Dance, Stevie wanted to do Stand Back.
Rewind time: I just don't believe solo work would have been mentioned or offered if Lindsey had not left. I don't see Stevie telling the band she wants to do solo work in the concert especially if Lindsey is there.
Was it not Lindsey who axed Stand Back and solo stuff from the On With The Show tour.
