They were able to make Everywhere sound good live back in 1997 and now. They should be able to do Hold Me.
Do we still think it's true that they did rehearse Hold Me and had planned on it being in the set?

I guess the difference is Hold Me was one of their highest performing singles, and THE LEAD SINGLE for Mirage (not Gypsy, surprisingly).

Sisters of the Moon has been played a lot on recent tours hasn't it?
We all know it's very unlikely that they'll play anything pre 1975. But for 1975-1987 stuff Hold Me was a big hit. There's not any Tusk or Mirage songs on the set from Christine.
