Okay. I drove from the San Francisco Bay Area to my home in So. Cal. today and listened to my iPod for 5.5 hours, which has lots of FM stuff that you kind and generous people have supplied. This is the perfect (sorry if this sounds like a pun) example of why (sorry, again) the 2009 tour doesn't sound like something I would put out $$$ for -- this is an example of how the songwriter/singer is front and center and the rest become the back-up to that person. Eg., I was listening to the Rumours-era version of "Station Man," and it's okay, but. . . . If someone else does Christine's songs on this 2009 tour, it will be like all of the retro-bands I've watched on PBS Specials -- yeah, you can sing the song, but you're not her/him.
