Stevie's lack of confidence

[PenguinHead]

Like other hardcore fans, I was extremely dissapointed to hear that Stevie dropped Destiny Rules and Running Through The Garden.

It seems like she's stepping back and letting this be the Lindsey Show. We can only speculate on why those songs were dropped.
But gee, putting Lindsey's new songs (and Beautiful Child) aside, it becomes the same stale old set list.

After all these years, and all the songs she's written, wouldn't she want to do new things? Is attending a Stevie or Fleetwood Mac show just always going to be the same old songs, with just a couple of new ones?

There was a time when the songs of the White and Rumours album were new! And they played the hell out of them and they became classics. Could you imagine attending a Rumours show and hearing them perform just a couple of those songs?

If the newer material isn't performed, how is it ever going to get a chance? It's so frustrating!

Stevie is on autopilot when she sings songs like Dreams and Rhiannon etc... Perhaps she doesn't venture far beyond those songs in concert because they are easy for her to perform and are sure crowd pleasers. Still, I've read her mention that she considers her new songs some of her best work. So why doesn't she perform it? Just two measily new songs?

Given the long spaces of time between their/her albums and concerts, and considering their ages, how many more tours and albums can we reasonably expect from them? I wish Stevie would be a little bit more confident performing new material before the end comes!

Just my taste, but they could perform the entire Say You Will album, and I'd be satisfied and thrilled. I want to be challenged by the artists I love, not placated into numbing familiarity and safety.
