Christine's vocals on Seven Wonders

I've always thought this but have never discussed it here, and was reminded the other day listening to Seven Wonders with headphones.. I think Christine's chorus harmony is just stunning, it adds so much to the song, even if it is tucked away, slightly obscured with the rest of the background vocs. We all know her voice is beautiful, but it really shines on this particular part. The remaster really brought it out, drove that point home for me. That is all

I love Christine singing but YES her back ups are stunning.
Its not just Seven Wonders

Sentimental Lady
Straight Back
Freedom

All come quickly in my mind so I may miss a few other good ones.

That’s for sure. What makes Seven Wonders stellar (IMO) is the three voices very clear to the ear. It’s why the song was a hit. Christine’s voice prominent in the chorus is key to the success as is Lindsey’s also in Stevie’s songs Rhiannon...Dreams...Gold Dust Woman and Sara...Farmers Daughter.

I wish they would've done it for The Dance.. can you imagine? Those three voices at that point in time, the awesome musical arrangements, yes please. If only.

I love the her voice on Seven Wonders. It gives the song that magic it needs.

Go Your Own Way live features Christine majorly on back ups (compared to the studio version). It really adds to the song so much. Also the Mirage live version of Eyes of the World. Christine and Lindsey's voice mesh together so well.

I love the BuckVie singing on Eyes of the World. That's not easy to do in a loud live setting. I sang in a jazz vocal group (octet) We used to do vocal sounds like that in certain songs. It takes practice to stay in tune and keep the tempo solid.

Yes! They should have done Little Lies and Isn't it Midnight too during The Dance

For the love of God, I suppose we will never hear Lindsey on guitar on Isnt It Midnight. We have been waiting since 1987 and 2 full band tours with Lindsey since 1987 and still no dice.

It would have been a killer on the Buck/Vie tour too.
