I thought it noteworthy that when Stevie was called to the stage to accept her induction into the RRHOF - it was Talk To Me that was played over the arena's PA.

We know Stevie is the boss in her solo touring. I do think you're right that Wsddy has input. Waddy did want to perform Crying In The Night for years according to Stevie so she did it for her 2016 Tour. I loved her early 2023 setlist when I saw her in Seattle. Sara, I Sing For The Things, and Fall From Grace - though I've seen FFG and Sara many times live, hearing Sara in her solo set was incredible. But all three of those are already gone from the setlist.

I think she's complacent and just figures the audience will eat up whatever she sings because they're awestruck being in the same venue with her. And for myself whose spent thousands and thousands on her, it's depressing that she's gone back to the casino setlist days.

I’ve seen Stevie 3 times- Street Angel, Enchanted, and Trouble in Shangri-La, and I would say I was fortunate in the sense that for those 3 tours, her set lists were incredibly varied. I totally get what you’re saying about being disappointed with her last few tours, though. I can’t imagine paying those ticket prices today for 15 songs, that’s horrible, and there’s no excuse for it. When she drops a song, she should replace it.

I can’t imagine ever seeing her again solo, but I would see FM again if they got together again. I’m very thankful I got to see Christine on the last FM tour, performing with a confidence I’d never seen from her before. I suspect if people had known that was going to be her last tour, they might have gone to see her, and I don’t want to have any regrets and pass up an opportunity to see Lindsey, Mick, Stevie, and John together one last time. Not saying it will happen, but if it did I’d go.
