I don't see much of a difference considering the setlists mostly feature old hits and she attracts an audience anyway. Accompanied by good marketing of course.

The question where would Mick be now.

The Dance changed everything. Stevie and Lindsey both had flop solo albums. Stevie said herself she almost wanted to give up performing. The Dance went to #1 for weeks with sold out concerts across the United States. Suddenly they were all hip again. Immediately after the Dance, Stevie released Enchanted. It was a greatest hits package with no new material or hits. Her solo tour the year following The Dance packed them in 5x as much as people that went to the Street Angel tour. This huge success made her start her next solo album. The Dance revived her career. She was relevant again, she was making big bucks again, got a record deal for another solo album, and most important her confidence was back.
Yes, The Dance changed everything for her.
