Also, will we actually hear how Christine sounds anywhere before the tour begins?

Yeah, heard GYOW a few times well before Rumours was released. (the first time was Nov '75) It wasn't close to the version we've come to know & love, but it was still really good. They also debuted "You Make Loving Fun" at the Universal Amphitheatre in mid-summer 1976. It was more like the alternate verson on this latest Rumours deluxe set. They even did "Silver Springs" at a couple of shows. I don't think they ever did a show where they played the entire album, but from March '77 onwards, they were playing a majority of the album. (Every show I saw them do during that spring/summer the new songs were extremely well-received). By August of '77, they were playing everything from Rumours except "Don't Stop" & "I Don't Want To Know"...and the crowds were rabid. (yes, I typed "rabid").
