I never thought of it in this way, but it's possible that certain songs had parts that she can play just fine, but not repeatedly night after night while on tour for months at a time. Maybe Brett took on those more physically demanding keyboard parts.

I bet David would know which keyboard parts were a workout compared to others.

Get Like You Used To Be is a workout, but this ain't 1975.

Yep, that one and a few others from the old days, especially if the band speeded them up in concert. But I hadn’t heard Christine play anything difficult (for her) since the Dance Don’t Stop. I guess she was taking a well-earned keyboard rest for 20 years.

Exactly. I'd think the Songbird intro would be the most difficult thing of the past 25 years(it's always been a slight challenge for me- jumping down and into the third bar of the intro... especially if I've had a few drinks).
