And Stevie may be disappointed to play smaller venues, but at least she'll see that people care. Wouldn't it be a bigger blow to have the album entirely forgotten, those songs played only once? How can she throw herself creatively into a Fleetwood Mac album if an album she considers her great artistic achievement goes completely unrecognized?

The songs are indeed very good. I would disagree that they're incredible, but opinions are subjective so there's no point in me arguing that.

I'm not downplaying the fact this is one of Stevie's best albums, it absolutely is. I'm just saying that the way it's been handled is a trainwreck. There isn't much of a point in Stevie touring now because it won't really equate to more sales. Stevie's just toured SO MUCH this decade. I'd much rather see her keep her recording energy flowing, that's all. We've waited so very long for new material. I guess I'd just rather her keep recording vs wasting more time touring.

And if these songs really meant the world to Stevie, she would have performed more than Secret Love this year. Especially for the casino shows just after IYD was released. But she didn't. Yes, the Wiltern was the show of every Stevie fan's wet dreams. But it was a one-off event. That sort of setlist will never happen again. When Stevie tours this summer (and she will tour, that's what she does folks), we'll be back to the same old setlist, with just a few new songs sprinkled in. If Stevie were truly proud of her album, she'd play that Wiltern set every night on her upcoming tour. But she won't. And that's why Stevie touring holds zero interest to me anymore. I'd much rather her hit the studio and try to make up for her 10 year hiatus!
