What does Lindsey have? GYOW, Tusk, Second Hand News, Eyes of the World, Never Going Back Again, Peacekeeper, World Turning, Big Love, I'm So Afraid. Those are his classic songs.

What does Stevie have? Gypsy, Rhiannon, Stand Back, Landslide, Gold Dust Woman, Dreams, and SIlver Springs. Those are her classics.

Get it? The whole setlist consists of classic songs that even casual fans know, not from being singles, but from being on their biggest selling records.

I dont think it was meant that stevie is the biggest draw out there... its just that she is a bigger draw than lindsey, is what i think was meant, well its what i meant... stevie was able to go out and support all her solos. i personally dont know what her earnings were, but the venues looked darn full to me. but you also have to remember, back then tickets were much cheaper, how long was the tour, and on the last TISL tour, that was a time that no one wanted to travel and so on, i dont remember but i dont think that tour made it to europe did it? it was a hard time, but i thought she was brave to stay out there on the road, cause she made lots of us forget our problems for a short while.
