I think Mick loved playing Stand Back as well and if I'm not mistaken wasn't it his idea in the first place to bring it into the 1987 set?
During that 4 part MTV interview thing on Netflix, they were asked if they were doing any solo songs as part of The Dance setlist and Stevie said no and Chris brought up that they were working on one of Lindsey's (presumably Go Insane). And it wasn't played in May at the recording of the video/album. So, at some point over the summer during rehearsals it was decided to bring Stand Back into the set. I wouldn't be surprised if they felt the set had a lull in it and needed something upbeat from Stevie and she or Mick suggested it. I don't think by 1997 that Lindsey cared if she did a solo song, especially since he was doing one. And after that, for 10 years and three world tours, Stand Back held a prominent place in the main set as the penultimate song before Go Your Own Way. The biggest shock for me was that it wasn't included in 2014-15 or 2018-19.
