I agree with this. As a ledgie I was happy FM played Storms in 2009, and it would have been more than exciting if they included more non usual hits on their latest tours.

But as a casual fan, if I had gone to see Tina Turner, Eagles or Rolling Stones, I would expect and be happy with the typical hits. Or dissapointed if they didn't include the greatest. That's the argument Glenn Frey used to convince Randy to not stop singing Take It to the Limit.

And of course there's the money factor, too. Bands look to please casual fans because they are the majority.
