Excellent statement. Christine has always been about the band first and foremost. People wanted to hear her songs live again. And after 15 plus years, she and her songs are well remembered.
When I was at the Forum earlier this month, a lady sitting next to me said the last time they came through Los Angeles they had the whole row to themselves and the energy in the crowd was nothing like this year.
The energy within the band seems electric, nowadays.
