Do you guys remember the bug song that Christine's band played at her solo shows? She left the stage, & those guys rocked out!

Why didn't she stay for it & put some tasty blues piano on it?

The bug song?

That's "The Guitar Bug". It was a song in the middle of the set on her 1984 solo tour. Todd Sharp did it. He co-wrote it with Billy Burnette. Todd did it so that Chris could take a bathroom break, as jbrownsjr so succinctly put it.:lol:

I know she left the stage at Universal. She was gone, baby, gone, her love is gone.

I only have a few shows with "Guitar Bug" & she left the stage every time. She said she was leaving to "dry her hair".:laugh: When I saw her, she left too. I think "Guitar Bug" was her "pee song" on that tour.:laugh:

I have a few complete bootlegs. The best of them is the Beacon Theatre show from New York. I have dial-up. I can't post the entire show at one time because it would take too long to upload all of them at once. I'd be willing to post a few tracks each day, if anyone is interested.

Ooh, would'ja? I don't have the NY show, just LA '83, and Chicago '84. And... Songbird from the Jackson show. I like that one, actually. "I know there really is no town called Great Adventure.... What's the name of the town here, then?" :laugh:

I'll start posting them tomorrow, a few tracks each day. The Chicago show is the best from that tour, but it's not the whole show. Yes, that Jackson show is very funny. She was really confused.:laugh: "I thought Great Adventure is a funny name for a town.":lol:

There had just been an accident in the Great Adventure amusement park. Several people were killed. That's what she's referring to.

I don't have that one yet. These are the only ones I have with my sound quality grade:

Reseda Country Club Reseda, CA 12/16/83 RADIO (A-)
Chicago, IL 5/6/84 AUD (A-)
Beacon Theatre, NY 5/14/84 AUD (B)
Jackson, NJ #1 5/18/84 AUD (B+)
Jackson, NJ #2 5/18/84 AUD (A-/B+)
Houston, TX 6/9/84 AUD (B+)
San Antonio, TX 6/11/84 AUD (B-)

I regularly trade with someone who has quite a few more shows. I eventually hope to get everything she has. She isn't trading now at the moment.

She isn't trading now at the moment.Somewhere around here I have my recording of the Los Angeles show, but I sat through about half the show thinking the play+record button was pressed but it wasn't, so by the time I finally pressed it, half the show was over. But I think I got a fairly good recording of what I did get. At one point in Hold Me, you can hear my friend Kelly say "There's Mick" because he had just been seated in front.
