I think Stevie takes other people's advice and just goes with it.

When artists go out and tour for their record, they play songs off their new record. I tend to think people come to hear the new stuff, as well. I just saw Kylie Minogue a few weeks ago (I previously saw her greatest hits tour) and she sang all but 2 songs off her new album, PLUS her biggest hits. She has a huge catalog of stuff, that people seem to not miss the songs she didn't perform. Kylie also takes one or requests that are not in her setlists from the audience and sings them a capella. It is such a rare treat to hear those because they vary from night to night. Why can't Stevie sing a few bars from Nightbird or Angel? It would salivate the fans and make a lot of people happy with just a few lines....

With that said, Stevie hasn't toured behind a new album since TISL...and she did start with songs from the record...Every Day, Planets, Sorcerer, Bombay Sapphires, Fall From Grace....but eventually BS and Planets were dropped. It's ashame.... I will never understand the distaste for new, live songs. I would not want to be in her band! What a bore of a show day in and day out!
