Fleetwood Mac and Stevie have both toured without any album to promote, with great fanfare and success. Is another solo tour going to be any different? 90% of her set will be the same old same old, with two or three songs from 24 Karat Gold. Yawn. Of course, I'd want the opposite.

The drastic changes in the music industry and the influence of social media begets a ME mentality "I paid good money --I want to hear the hits or else it will suck ", or "no one will show up if she doesn't play this or that song, and plays too many new songs we don't know!" These are not the typical edicts of genuine music aficionados.

Is it not possible to go to a show of an unknown/little known band, and still enjoy the performance even if you're not familiar with the songs?

If it happens to be a singer or band you admire, it shouldn't matter if they stray from their beaten path and present something new in lieu of familiar, well-worn material. It's been said that Stevie could sing the phone book (and people would listen). The stigma of legacy artists playing new songs is self-inflicted as much as it is from the pressure of commercial interests.

Commerce rules and trumps artistry. But I don't blame the artists. It is their business, and profit margins matter, so comprise is part of the deal. Fleetwood Mac is very fortunate that they can rest heavily on their laurels. Stevie still has time to shake it up a bit. I hope she ceases that opportunity.

Well it only fizzled out because she couldn't promote it.
