Gotcha. I missed that they got two tickets.

According to this story about when Ellen gave $1 million to her studio audience, it was split among the 400 audience members in attendance. So, we're talking potentially 800 tickets to the Forum.

I mean if you're going to make such a major change, at least perform well. He did.

Wow. Is Chris playing anything live anymore now? She sure wasn't playing much on the BuckVie tour, Brett was handling most of it. Now that he's not on this tour, is Mike taking over keyboards in his spare time as well??? I just don't get what happened in the time between her solo album on which she played everything and her return to FM. Maybe it's just the physical force at which one has to play live versus how softly one can play in the studio?? Still, you'd think that could be manipulated electronically these days.

to the daytime
Burbank lot
Back to the song
that we loved
To a band with no grace
and fading powers
Back to the pitchy
song it was.
Before Lindsey,
That it was.

And it all comes down to two
Well you know that we needed
Two new guys
Maybe Neil, maybe Mike
Oh, Ellen does the scripted patter right
And you hear you're pitchy
Hey
You hear you're pitchy
Hey

Still the pitchi-
ness remains
She faces Neil Finn
who asks "Why am I here?"
"I have no idea--
"I only asked for Mike...
"And though I got a Mike
"No the Mike wasn't enough
"Enough for Lindsey's parts
"Enough to.. lol"

Stevie's dancing her way
On Ellen now
She was just off pitch
She was just, off pitch
And the memory of Lindsey who
made this song great
You see you ditched him
Hey
You, Stevie, ditched him
Uh-oh oh.

Who is the keyboard player to Mick's left (on the right side of screen) between Mick and the girls?

The Chain -- Chris and Stevie totally down in the mix. It really was Neill and the backup singers through the whole thing.

Gypsy-- love Mike to death, but really, that version was just lame. Lindsey's playing is so unique and so integral to her songs that without them.....meh.

Doesn't seem like Chris is playing a damned thing anymore.

Can someone please explain why on Gypsy the do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-dah part was played on a keyboard by MIKE when they have both Chris and mystery keyboard man onstage? He had to walk over and with his index finger poke the keys on a little synthesizer. wtf. And that part should have been played on his guitar. Neil was trying to do LB's staccato picking parts and not doing it well.

This was sooooooooooooo lame. It's really, really sad. Super sad.

Definitely a tribute band now. With Stevie as the emcee.

That keyboard part Mike played on “Gypsy” is something Lindsey played on guitar live, however, the recorded version was a keyboard.

I have to be honest, I am really looking forward to the official reviews. It’s going to be so interesting

Not unlike the solo in live versions of "Landslide" from 1997 to 2017.

I've seen Christine play the Landslide parts before. I believe she did on the BTM tour. And she did it on other tours as well.

Bloody play something, Christine!!

Not exactly. Lindsey’s guitar rearrangement on Landslide was pretty amazing. The Gypsy line didn’t require a major reworking for guitar, and it’s as easy to play on guitar as it is keyboard.

Okay, you can say that I troll this board, but I DO love Christine and Stevie. Still, I'm embarrassed on the bands behalf, The Chain was just soooo bad.
And what in the seven hells did Stevie do to her poor face?
Christine looked good, but what did she do aside from standing behind a keyboard and shimmying a bit (which was cute).

At first, I thought $he looked a little sleepy. But $he may have possibly had some injections in the cheeks?? They looked puffy from botox or such measures.

And yes, Christine... if you're not going to do anything, at least you look amazing and cute.

she played a keyboard line in the middle of Landslide on the Tusk tour, it's on the Live album.
