Stevie has said that you can't do new songs because the people won't know them and will just sit there. She then usually tells the story of the shows the Mac did in 1976 where they did some of the songs from "Rumours" and how people just didn't know the songs so they didn't go over very well.
Stevie really has no sense of time. At that point there were still a lot of people going to see them that were fans of "Hypnotized" and "Oh Well" etc. So they didn't want to hear these songs by these new people they didn't know.
At the same time Stevie did "Gold & Braid" on the Bella Donna tour and that song was never released and it seemingly went over very well.
History tells us that she won't do anything new because Stevie is still very much living in the '70's. However I have a feeling she might really shake things up at these shows.
