Unfortunately, those are exactly the kind of people that Vegas attracts.

When you hit the same town again and again, that is when you have to change your set list. That is why the second leg of the SYW tour was such a suicide mission. People had just spent big money to see them a few months ago and even diehard fans didn't want to spend the money a second time for the same setlist.

But the beauty of Vegas is that you can stay the same because the audience changes all the time. So, you get those people, a new batch every week, who are there to hear Dreams and Stand Back and don't even want to hear anything else. It's kind of a lazy performer's paradise. It's very sad on one hand, but on the other . . .

I saw Cher talking about how amazing her set was going to be. I wonder if Stevie had the money to go all out on the set, a set that wouldn't have to travel, what she would conjure up. Michele
