There is an alternate take of Isn’t It Midnight on the Chain boxset, I believe credited to only Christine and Eddy, which I took to mean Lindsey added the incredible guitar and music we get on the final version on Tango. There could be several reasons Lindsey didn’t want to play it live (if that was indeed the case). Maybe he felt the song was too ‘pop sounding’ or maybe he didn’t want to waste his time on a guitar solo on that particular song. It is fascinating to me that he co-wrote it, but never performed it live. All the more reason I think he didn’t care to perform it live. Again, I’m sure if Christine had said she really wanted to perform it, he would have.
