I hear If Anyone Falls on Sirius 80s on 8 all the time. But on regular radio, I don’t hear Stevie solo songs beyond Edge and Stop Draggin My Heart Around.

Outside The Rain and Bella Donna were on a #1 multiplatinum selling album and I’d gather even her younger fans would likely own that or stream it more than her other albums. Wild Heart is always on Andy’s Kiki Lounge station, there’s the viral video of her singing Wild Heart for the cover shoot, and recently a video of her singing it backstage with Harry Styles’ band.
The way Soldier’s Angel is performed is without presumption because Stevie sets it up with the story as if the audience member has never heard it before and with the video accompaniment they love the song like it’s one of her best.
What else is there: Leather and Lace, Gold Dust Woman, Dreams, Landslide, Stand Back, Gypsy, Edge of Seventeen, and the cover of a huge hit For What It’s Worth. I’d still say it’s a setlist for those who want to hear what they know. But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a fantastic performance and concert!
