that's what was so cool about the late Tusk Tour legs: Christine started wearing Stevie's clothes! She'd be out there for WORLD TURNING, wearing Stevie's spangly cape, shaking maracas but shimmying in a Rhiannon dance all her own.

It's funny to look at the cover of the live album and wonder why Chris is dressed like Stevie. And why Lindsey is standing backwards.
Yes, you're right that Lindsey is on stage when Stevie is back stage before
Rhiannon, but do you know the tour footage I'm talking about? He comes up to her and Robin and I don't think it's at the beginning of the show. I think it's during some sort of break in the show. Maybe just before an encore. I have no idea. To me, it seems like he's saying hurry up, but I rewind and rewind and can't make out his actual words. He looks anxious.
Another time in that video, Lindsey doesn't come up to her and Robin, but he looks like he will and Stevie seems pretty jumpy about that. She is over a steam machine. Inhaling the steam for her throat and Lindsey is across the room and she keeps looking at him coming and when he does get near them, he doesn't say anything. But she looked like she thought he would.
But speaking of preparations, in 2003 some NY columnist interviewed him and he said Stevie needed two hours before the show and the reporter asked what she was doing in those 2 hours. Was she getting a massage or what? He said he didn't know. He just knew she needed two hours. It made me laugh because he seemed to be thinking it's a "mystery to me" what women do or why they do it.
Also, for the SYW tour, she got dressed on the side of the stage for
Rhiannon, while he was doing
NGBA. You could see her assistant putting on her bat wings. I always thought that was real cool. I also always thought that it was odd to see Stevie's bare arms on stage. I hadn't seen those since the eighties!
