I also thought the DS performace was magnificent.

Interestingly, I also think it is her British nature

It's definitely Christine's cool, English reserve. I think she brought a touch of elegance & some much needed class to the whole thing. You can't compare her Dance demeanor to the Mirage video. She was 15 years younger then & not in the best shape physically back in 1982. I thought she looked & sounded fantastic in 1997! They all looked pretty darned good considering their ages & not having done anything together in such a long time.

My highlights:

1. You Make Loving Fun-the best live version I think I've ever heard of the song(I love the look that Mick gave Chris right after they finished.)

2. Songbird

3. Silver Springs-terrific live version, although not as good as the original studio version 20 years earlier

4. Don't Stop & Tusk-I love the USC marching band on these 2 songs

5. I think Bleed To Love Her & Temporary One were the best of the new songs.
