As for Tango and Behind the Mask, Stevie's material on those albums is simply inferior to her past work with the Mac. The best stuff on those albums is Christine's and she's not around to sing it. As far as Lindsey goes, Family Man and You and I Part 2 aren't exactly career highlights, and it's little wonder he doesn't want to do material off of Behind the Mask when he wasn't even a band member at the time. While I like the title track and Caroline well enough, they aren't as good as his past work.
Other than attempting a re-arrangement of the hit Little Lies to make it fly without Christine (quite a challenge), including more material from Tango and Behind the Mask wouldn't work too well with the current line-up. They already have Big Love from Tango and that is enough. JMHO.

You made some good points there, but I'd have to disagree with the wide assessment to pretend Tango and BTM don't exist for touring purposes.
A Tango-to-the-present setlist could look like this...
Seven Wonders
Caroline
When I See You Again (just Stevie & Lindsey on guitar - no Mick or John)
Tango In The Night
Freedom (OK, so only one BTM song but that's better than nothing)
Steal Your Heart Away
Running Through The Garden
Twisted (w/Lindsey)
Say Goodbye
Everybody Finds Out
I'd much rather hear Caroline and Tango live than hear The Chain and Tusk or Never Going Back Again...again......and again... Just my opinion, as well.
