Here is what I'm hearing:
Everywhere:
Far left - Verse / Synth strings
Center - Intro / digital EP doing triplets down
Left - Intro / digital EP (similar) doing triplets up
Right - Various Pads
Far right - Synth String part
Also, at the end, I'm pretty damn sure that the things on the end "Bum bum bum" etc are synth.
What I'm most concerned with is finding a good DX7 sound that grabs that texture, if I can't find the acutal thing (which would be cool).
In the Tango DVD it sounds like it may have been programmed because it's out of sync with the band.
I thought the Dance might be the same, but if not, Brent is doing a pretty good job playing it. (He often doesn't play her parts accurately enough for my tastes... I could do a better job.)
Little Lies:
This song is much more tricky because I do know that Lindsey's doing synth guitar stuff.
Left & Center: Pads on the intro
Left: Verse Low Vibe/Bell like tone
Right: DX Rhodes
On the chorus, there's a lot on stuff going on, and I haven't determined exactly yet what everything is. In the Tango DVD, I don't think she's actually playing most of what's being heard. I don't know if it's programmed or her keyboard tech is playing with her, but from what I can see it looks like she's just playing the pad that's low in the mix.

...and you wonder why we (Fleetfoot Mike) stick to 75-82
Our Christine only has two hands
It's also why I'm less keen on Tango and later tours: prior to that, the Mac were a good, honest, live act: the band on stage (with the rare and forgiveable exception of Ray Lindsey on acoustic on Gypsy/GYOW/SHN and Chris's tech on synth on Tusk) were the band, not the band plus session musicians.
