It may be a lack of material (I doubt it), band conflicts, the overwhelming thought of promoting an entirely new album and all the work/insanity that coincides with that.... but honestly, all this greatest hits stuff has really been pouring out since The Dance and its overwhelming success. Its just time to move on.

You made a lot of very good points here. Honestly these are several of the reasons why FM have lost many longtime fans.(Stevie once asked an interviewer,"what happened to all our fans we had in 1980?") They get so tired of waiting for something new or some type of setlist change that they simply give up and move on. I for one am in it for the long haul but have many, many times been completely frustrated with all of these issues throughout the years, starting in 1983.
