I'm pretty sure that has something to do with her sticking to her most familiar songs, it's what the average audience member (not the diehard fan) knows and probably paid their money to see.

When I was a very young kid, I was at The Wild Heart Tour and I wasn't "into" Stevie Nicks yet, so I was only familiar with The Wild Heart album and a bit of Bella Donna. When she played "Gold and Braid" and "Sara," I had never heard those songs before, so it was hard to be a jumpy, dancing, spazzy fool. But just because I wasn't, doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it. You don't have to dance and stand up to enjoy a song you are not familiar with.

This goes with many live shows I see from any artist. Sometimes you gotta sit back and listen to something that is new.

Its so funny, I bitch and bitch about the set list, yet I just told my mom I am probably going to save up and take some of my graduation money and buy from a broker to get a front row seat.

Its definitely a love/hate relationship.
