It was stevie on gypsy that sounded awful. Maybe it's just because I'm on such a stevie high with 24 Karat Gold and some of the YouTube videos of this tour, that it's an even bigger let down to watch that. I know it would've been completely inappropriate for this string, but why couldn't they just play the song 24 karat gold in gypsys spot. Or more realistically, play seven wonders, it's sort of her most relevant song now with American Harry story and she sings it great in concert.

I agree...Gypsy was the disappointment as usual. Stevie's inability or unwillingness to hit some of the high notes just makes the song flat. Aside from the actual performance on The Dance DVD (not the tour) and the AHI acoustic version from 2000, I've never heard a live version of Gypsy that I like.

Would've preferred something different than Gypsy but it was okay though not as good as recent live videos. Unsurprising for the time of day. Sorry to agree with the much criticised online Facebook commentators but I think Christine's vocal was actually weaker. Same ol', same ol' for the media angle and interview segments but wasn't expecting anything other than that. Good to hear about them doing more dates, though.

A foot note on those negative twitter posts.I know they will come unglued if any of us say any negative things about their favorite band or singers.

They need to embrace the acoustic Gypsy if they continue to play it live. Then, it's a good excuse for Stevie's changed vocals, as it's a different arrangement of the song.

I also think they could absolutely nail I Don't Want to Know.

When will they play The Chain?

The Chain is probably the last tune which will be coming up quickly.

They are gonna make us sit thru all their sh**ty segment and play the last song at the latest possible time. This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. They do this every time.

I think the Stevie-only segment aired around 9:50 EST yesterday (the Mac segment aired around 8:35 yesterday). So it might be around that time again today.

just saw the FB Today Show page...some pretty brutal comments about the whole band...but Chris seems to be getting the lion's share of the negative ones about the vocals, Stevie getting her usual share...and everyone saying LB looked nervous and like a deer in headlights...but you DO see some positive comments from the diehards...I think they go over better in an arena because many of those commenting are saying, "They were great when I saw them the other night"...

Yes I can do without the fluff and filler of these shows.I dont mind the news on them.They could fit couple FM tunes in if they axe out the bull crap.

I dont have FB account but I would not mind giving them my opinion on the crap they like.

Ah I forgot that they usually hold the last song for later in the show.

Where is Matt Lauer? Usually he is more serious and less of a goon than his cohorts.
