She was there for the last night. Stevie dedicated Landslide to her and gave a nice little speech about how much she misses Chris.
I agree with the comments here that she may have just done the rehearsal and nothing else because she doesn't want to be pulled back in. If she'd done a Dublin show, the news would travel fast and there might be an expectation that she would then do others beyond the two she is purported to be playing at. Having done the Maui show this year I'm not concerned about her ability to perform (relatively) nerve-free on stage, but it's the travel that throws her, I think. Even getting a ferry to Dublin can be a shaky experience for someone who's used to, at most, driving the 70 miles from Kent to London. I hope she doesn't back out.

Maybe it'll be fine, maybe she is happy to do two of the London shows and just doesn't want to be swept back into the Black Hole by doing others, but I do worry a little that the weight of expectation now - on Chris principally, but also on Mick and Stevie for having announced this to the world's media - might not sit well with Chris.

I remain optimistic. She can sing Don't Stop with her eyes closed, hands behind her back, underwater. OK, the O2 is a big venue, but she had practice in Maui and it sounds as though she has rehearsed with them once or twice. Hopefully it'll happen. If it does, and it's the last thing the five of them do together, that will be nice. I'm a Pink Floyd fan, and Live 8 was the best thing they did in about thirty years as far as I am concerned, because it showed that the four band members cared enough to get together and say goodbye to the fans properly (and to do good for a charity). If Chris does that in London, and never resurfaces again, I suppose we ought to be happy.

Is there video of this, I hope!

Sadly, none that I know of. We had reports here from one or two people who were there, but nobody seemed to have recorded the speech. I suspect they simply weren't expecting Stevie to say anything about Chris.

Shame. That would have been lovely to see.

Agreed. I'd also have liked to have been there in 2003 when, again on the last night in London, they dedicated Landslide to her *and* Mick made a nice little speech about 'the fifth member of the band', who was 'somewhere out there' [at the soundboard(!)], before Don't Stop.

Since then, I recall reading one of the sound guys (I think) saying that Chris was basically chain-smoking her way through the 2003 London gig, pacing around behind the soundboard. I suppose she may have been nervous at being back amongst the circus and perhaps afraid of being coaxed back in.

Come on Ledgies, all Landslide dedications need to be recorded during these next few shows! |

I'm expecting a dedication in the first London show.
