Wasn't Christine up in Montreux, Switzerland, in 1983-84 to record her solo album?

so..what was her set list?????

Ya buddy.... you can tell she was feelin it!!! Wonder if she was thinkin... "We all came out to Montreux... 'long the Lake Geneva Shoreline... blah blah blah... Smoke on the Water... Fire in the Sky" - hehe. I woulda been. (insert head banging smiley here)

WOW! NICE pics! Thanks SpyNote & Jack for sharing. Amazing. She looks really into it!!!! Even perhaps more at ease than the SN/TP shots of recent.

:thumbsup:

I think she did 2 songs...one was Stand Back, but I can't remember the other. she also sang/rapped with Kid Rock. I've got a little snippet of it.

Dreams, Stand Back and the Woodstock song with Kid Rock.

According to Vanessa, she did four songs -- Dreams, Stand Back, Rock and Roll (with Chic and Nile Rodgers), and Woodstock (with Kid Rock).

Cool pictures, thanks Daniel & Jack! She's really rockin' out here, isn't she?

Some of the others are kind of funny... she looks so uncomfortable in a few. Like this one:

Just an awkward moment for the camera to have caught her. I wonder if they were taken during Woodstock... it seems she's concentrating pretty carefully on a teleprompter down and to her right in many of the shots.

that's exactly what I thought too.

there are a couple of "awkward" shots, but she looks fabulous.

Gorgeous photos - thanks!

I didn't catch her looking down at any point during the 'Woodstock' performance. I shall check again, but I really don't think she was checking the teleprompter all that much.

Oh I want to hear her with Kid Rock! Hopefully some audio will surface.

Brian's site had some audio -

Kudos to the poster and Brian!

Ahh, you rock. Thanks :) It's great to hear her on this song.

So, what equipment does one need to make decent boots?

Thank you for posting the terrific pictures, Daniel... and thank you to Jack.

Here's one I found on the AP Photo Archives site....

Thanks for the audio you posted at Sevenwonders, Vanessa! :angel: I'll be checking it out as soon as I get home.

And you werent even there! Some Stevie fan you are!:lol:

Stevie is really giving her all in this performance!!!!

I gotta tell you guys, I am salivating over these pictures! Is it just me or is this the best she's looked since The Dance? I don't know what it is but I'm in love...the hair, my God that's the best hair in ages without a doubt, the make-up is perfection, her energy and overall aura is astounding, especially after hearing the boot from the show! There's a sparkle in her eye I haven't seen in a while, these pictures made my week :blob1:. I don't know if it's the great quality of the photos but they are really something else.

Sparkle in her eye? You can't even see her eyes. ;)

Holy smokes those are closeup! She does look like she's into it though, must be that lake air! (Montreux's nice). So Kid Rock is there? I thought he sang heavy stuff, not jazz.

Hey now, don't be hatin on my girl for taking too many tokes ;)

Am I blind ? A few of these are good pictures.
But in a few of them, God Bless Her, she kinda looks beat up.:shrug:

I think her eyes look half closed because:

1. She was, LORD LOVE HER, stoned

2. Her eyes are showing her age

3. She is wearing too much make up to hide her age

But, all in all, she looks great for an almost 60 year old woman.

YES!
You really think so? I totally disagree and for that comment I'd like to beat you up. :xoxo:
What looks beat up about her?

You'll get all pissed off at me if I elaborate.:wavey:
She just looks a bit rough to me in a few of these shots. She's starting to show her age, and she usually hides it better. But, like Strandie says, she is damned near sixty.

She's a good-looking 60-year-old, for sure--rivaled only by--don't laugh--my Aunt Sharon.

We call her Sharona.

I agree, I think she looks pretty rough in these pics, maybe I'm just not used to seeing such extreme close up pics of her. The eye make up is hideous, she should just spring for an eye lift and wear less make up. :lol:

You know what?
F*ck it.
Have you heard the vocal ? It is shocking.
She kicked ass. And you know I do not impress easily.

Haven't heard it yet, I'll check it out.

I think most people do not realize that stage make up, esp. at her age, tends to look scary up close.

I did not like the song, but the vocal was cool. I swear she should mix it up more.

Preach it. I swear, I didn't even have time to check her appearance, I was too blown away by her performance. On *all* the songs. She seriously kicked ass. Btw, on the Festival screens her make-up looked way less heavy than it does in these pictures, that's strange. I actually called someone up right after the show with a report and mentioned that her make-up looked more natural. Maybe I should have paid more attention, but as I said, I was too busy being mighty impressed. :nod:

Yes, Kudos to Vanessa for sharing it. :thumbsup:

ITA, Sparks. :nod:
