How many of those "7 or 8" tunes did they play once or twice then they disappeared from the set the rest of the tour?
The show I saw, they played 5. "Say You Will", "Peacekeeper", "Come", "Say Goodbye" & "Goodbye Baby".
They did 7 from Rumours...that album had 12 songs (counting "Silver Springs") with 4 from a songwriter no longer in the band...and they STILL did 7 songs from it. 58% of the album.
So, if their thinking was that the SYW material was BETTER than Rumours, then why play only 28% of the better album and 58% of the "lesser" album??

Point taken, I'm just arguing that out of their extensive catalogue of songs they gave a good proportion of the set to SYW. Out of the 3 shows I saw, 2 of them they did Peacekeeper, Say You Will, Come, Whats the World Coming To, Say Goodbye, Goodbye Baby...and then on the 3rd show, 2nd leg of the tour "Red Rover" made it in there. I think they did Destiny Rules & Running Thru the Garden on numerous occasions too. I think they should have included Bleed to Love Her as well. Great song.
You, of all people, being a touring musician know that you
have to include the old string of material for the non-hardcore-fans. Stuff like Eyes of the World, Red Rover, and I'm Know I'm Not Wrong got put in there for "us".
