Instead of a new album...

[bwboy]

Why doesn't FM take a note from Stevie's playbook and tour behind their reissued albums instead of a new one? That way, everyone wins! Stevie doesn't have to record new material with them, Lindsey and Christine get to perform 'new' songs for the tour like Smile at You, If You Were My Love, and Goodbye Angel, and if they played 'deep cuts' they've never performed before (or only once or twice) like Brown Eyes, Over and Over, Save Me a Place, Hold Me, Love in Store, I Don't Want to Know, Warm Ways, Crystal, etc then the audience would win. Or, Stevie could sing some of her songs from the Buckingham Nicks album in lieu of 'new' material. I'd love to hear Races Are Run live.

Stevie is winning rave reviews for combining 'deep cuts' like the Wild Heart and Crying in the Night with her hit songs on her current tour, so maybe FM could do the same. I originally posted this on Stevie's board, but since a lot of FM fans are mad at her for not working on the new album, or are upset at the band for possibly touring without a new album, I wondered what they would think of this here.

Would a FM fan be happy if, instead of recording new material, they shook up their set list with 'deep cuts' alongside their classics?
