Predictions: Christine songs!

[HomerMcvie]

It didn't hold up well, because there was too much going on, on the recording, to duplicate that with a 4 piece band(tambourine doesn't count as an instrument!). I have one live recording of it, and I think it was okay! The only thing really missing was the guitar part going "dink, dink a dink, dink a dink".

Well, even though I liked it, I thought the worst thing was Lindsey SCREAMING "WHY DON'T YOU COME ON AND A"!!!

They have more personnel now than they did in 1982 (even when you consider that they had "help" from offstage players back in 1982), so even though they nixed it then, I can see them putting it on the option board again this time around. But I would seriously be shocked if they played it.

Shocked and pleased, to paraphrase Mr. B.

Ha, but if we are doing songs where Lindsey appears already, Think About Me is a more than worthy contender. Plus, it's on that album, which I think kind of makes it a little easier to convince them to add it.

Loved Isn't It Midnight live (one of the few highlights I took from the Cage and BTM tours and I still play today) and would be happy to hear it with Lindsey there.

I would love to see them do Never Forget or Save Me. But if they do a Chris song, they will do one of her hit singles and I doubt they will touch YMLF or Hold Me.

I forget about Christine's Tusk songs, but yeah Think About Me would be great, as Lindsey's vocal is quite prominent on that song. Lindsey doing Isn't It Midnight live would be awesome, too.

But as far as predictions go, I'm just predicting Don't Stop and World Turning. My belief is that this tour will be all about Stevie and Lindsey, so no other Christine songs, just like no other songs by Peter, Welch, etc.

On reflection they ought maybe to leave Chris' songs.

Lindsey and Stevie butchered SYLM, by Stevie coming into the first verse late/forgetting the words and Lindsey's scratchy live vocals being completely inappropriate for a song that, when sung by its writer, flowed like draft Guinness into a glass.

I really don't like Don't Stop the way they do it now, too, and Mick's solo has always spoilt World Turning for me.

So, uncharacteristically, I'm a thumbs down for including Christine songs in 2013!
