Stevie really doesn't have much in the way of uptempo/rocking songs, so I think "Stand Back" is her go-to "get the a$$es out of their seats" number. If you think about it, what other Stevie song would fit into this slot in the show? Other than "Edge of Seventeen" I can't think of anything else.

Running Through The Garden, No Questions Asked, Freedom, Love Is Dangerous, Seven Wonders, Say You Will - even Paper Doll would serve the same purpose, though maybe not as effectively since they aren't as well known. Stand Back certainly does get one's ass out of the seat!
