They have more personnel now than they did in 1982 (even when you consider that they had "help" from offstage players back in 1982), so even though they nixed it then, I can see them putting it on the option board again this time around. But I would seriously be shocked if they played it.

Shocked and pleased, to paraphrase Mr. B.

Ha, but if we are doing songs where Lindsey appears already, Think About Me is a more than worthy contender. Plus, it's on that album, which I think kind of makes it a little easier to convince them to add it.

Loved Isn't It Midnight live (one of the few highlights I took from the Cage and BTM tours and I still play today) and would be happy to hear it with Lindsey there.

Michele

I would love to see them do Never Forget or Save Me. But if they do a Chris song, they will do one of her hit singles and I doubt they will touch YMLF or Hold Me.

"Don't Stop" is a staple for the live shows.Also goes for Micks spotlight doing his thing with "World Turning".

Other Christine tunes probably wont be sung.

Stevie's vocals were always a standout component of Over My Head.

Michele

On reflection they ought maybe to leave Chris' songs.

Lindsey and Stevie butchered SYLM, by Stevie coming into the first verse late/forgetting the words and Lindsey's scratchy live vocals being completely inappropriate for a song that, when sung by its writer, flowed like draft Guinness into a glass. ;)

I really don't like Don't Stop the way they do it now, too, and Mick's solo has always spoilt World Turning for me.

So, uncharacteristically, I'm a thumbs down for including Christine songs in 2013! :shrug:

love it! :thumbsup:

I forget about Christine's Tusk songs, but yeah Think About Me would be great, as Lindsey's vocal is quite prominent on that song. Lindsey doing Isn't It Midnight live would be awesome, too.

But as far as predictions go, I'm just predicting Don't Stop and World Turning. My belief is that this tour will be all about Stevie and Lindsey, so no other Christine songs, just like no other songs by Peter, Welch, etc. :cool:

I would hope World Turning is dropped.

As far as predictions go, I think Don't Stop and some other Christine song to replace SYLM. I think that dame is going to get 2 songs a tour, not counting World Turning.

Michele

They seem to treat "World Turning" as one of those have-to-play songs. Not sure I understand why.

I think just for the drum solo [which doesn't explain why Lindsey did it solo, but . . . ], which is why when Mick did his thing on NTF, World Turning wasn't in the setlist.

Michele

World Turning is only so Mick can vesturbate in public. #tacky

The reason they do Chris songs is out of respect for her. But I agree they should stop it. Stick to songs you can do justice meaning those written by Stevie and Lindsey plus oh well. Say you love me was such a waste of a song in the set. And while I enjoy her take on world turning I feel that song should be retired and mick can solo in another song.

I would love that!
If they would play both "Sara" and "Gypsy" PLUS "Isn't It Midnight" I would be so happy that I wouldn't mind any other choices in the setlist.
I hate "Oh Diane", but they could play it and I wouldn't care about it anymore. :D

i'd be happy if they don't play any of those 4 songs. :thumbsup:
