Hold Me Backing Vocals

[Meowi]

Ok, in Hold Me whos shouting in the background? You know, after the 'Hold me, Hold me-he'. I think they say "I'm Holding"

My Dad reckons it's Micks :lol:

[nailatixela]

Are you talking about Lindsey saying "come on and"? And then Chris says "Hold me"

[CADreaming]

They say "Why don't you", "Come on and", "I want you to". I can't remember if they do those exact phrases in the recording but they are doing it live because I always think Stevie and Lindsey are being obnoxious during Christine's song.

[HejiraNYC]

I think he/she is referring to the second "Hold me" in the chorus where there is some kind of a "bark" that comes in simultaneously. To me it sounds like Lindsey inserting a quirky tape snippet of layered vocals that's almost used as a percussive sound.

That little bark sounds like one of Stevie's Yorkies. :laugh: I always thought it was Christine, with some tweaking done by Lindsey.

That's not the first time we've heard barking from LB....

It's "Come on and..." (Hold me)... and "Why dont you..." (Hold me)

That makes me laugh. I only saw the Mirage show twice on tour, so there's not a lot to go on, but I always thought that Stevie seemed so disinterested in singing on Hold Me for some reason. The only song she seemed to like to sing less was Tusk. It's just when she would wander up to the mic for her parts, she didn't seem that concerned about whether she got there or not. Now, that she and Lindsey are alone, of course she sings Tusk, full participation, but in the past, it seemed kind of iffy.

Really?? Was that before or after Robin died? I saw a youtube of "Tusk" from the Tusk tour and she was all into it. She even sang "Tusk!" at the wrong time all by herself and I was thinking, "Stevie's first thoughts of going solo..." :lol:

MicheleI saw one Mirage show, and Lindsey was screaming, "why don't you come on and uh".

I also saw two Mirage shows and Stevie seemed totally into singing Hold Me. It was Hold Me, Hold Me Yeah! She really accentuated the yeah parts. I agree with what you said about her participation on Tusk, B4 and after Christine's FM tenure.

I first saw the show in September 1982 in Michigan, then I saw it a month later in California. But also on the Us Festival video she seems distracted too.

Yeah. I remember Lindsey screaming too. He would have screamed all over his Think About Me parts live as well, given a chance. I can see him wagging his head back and forth and yelling "every once in a while" very clearly in my head as if it happened. Michele

While I don't care for punk music, I certainly appreciate the ENERGY that he brought to the performance of the song!:blob2::blob2::blob2:

Yeah, Stevie appeared to love singing that song on the Tusk and Mirage tour. Not sure if she was entirely into it as an encore during The Dance, but she relished in the spectacle to the trojan band appearing onstage. When I saw FM for this most recent tour, I don't even think Stevie was on stage during Lindsey's new and interesting reworking of Tusk.

During the Dance tour (without the Trojans) whenever I saw them Stevie seemed lackluster about her tusks. Christine was gung ho, as she usually was on that song.

I know I didn't like the SYW Tusk, but Stevie was a good sport about those shenanigans.

She was on stage when I saw her for Unleashed during Tusk. She participated well. Of course, body language wise, I'd say the songs she likes best of his are SHN and I Know I'm Not Wrong.

Similarly, body language wise, Lindsey seemed to like YMLF best of all the songs that weren't his. I'd say Angel too, but that was only one tour and I was just becoming a fan back then, so it's hard for me to really say what I think positively.
