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??

Granted they could have easily balanced it out a bit better, but the reason is that obligation to the fans that they always talk about. The fans come to hear the Rumours stuff. You talk like the band wants to play the old stuff and doesn't want to play the new stuff. I think it has a lot more to do with their complete obedience to casual fans.
