As much as she'd love to do this forever, she knows that there will come a time when she can't...and you can't predict the future.
The only reason they've toured as much as they have...added on random shows like Chumash...is because IMO, they had to recoup a loss they took on album sales. I don't think the numbers they calculated ended up being the numbers they made and who knows what they got in terms of an advance. As far as I know, LIB wasn't the 2nd album. That would be really stupid if it were. To me, that was another way for them to recoup the loss...put out a DVD and add a live album (with only a few songs) and make it a package.

I dont think its weighing on her mind in a negative way. this is stevies love. she has been with the mac on this tour for a long time, i think its safe to say that she is anxious to get back to work on her solo work, for the love of it , not because she is feeling pressure. the fact that she is 56 doesnt mean she cant get 2 new albums done. the record comp, isnt saying that she has to tour her but off like the tour she just finished with fm. altho we all know stevie does tour with every new album. but i think she loves to do it. i know as you get older, its may be harder to tour, her hip injury, sure, that could be a problem. but i dont see stevie stopping making records just because at some point she may not be able to tour. i think she will always write and release her music til the day she dies and if she cant do a tour, we will still get new music. but im sure she will tour as long as she feels that she can do it. to say she is feeling pressure by the record co cause of her age is like saying well once she fullfills this obligation, she will never have another record contract and we all know stevie is in this for the long haul, at any age. rock on stevie.
