Mirage: The Most Underrated Pop Record

I would have been so happy if they did Hold Me.

Yes, "Everywhere" is her big hit from the tour...and deservingly so. I, too, believe that "Hold Me" is a brilliant track. However, I think in terms of a "sing-a-long", big "crowd" moment, "Everywhere" is a far superior choice. Not to mention the fact that it recently had a resurgance in the U.K. and has actually brought several young fans to the band. On a personal level, I certainly prefer "Everywhere" to "Hold Me." However, "Hold Me" is a great track...maybe better suited for the studio, though, and not live. From what I heard of the Mirage tour bootlegs, the song definetly lost something in the live setting. Would be interesting to see what they would do with it now...perhaps in the acoustic set?

I like Hold Me better than Everywhere, but they are two of my very favorite songs. I was just suggesting instead of playing Everywhere and Little Lies, they should have played Hold Me instead of Little Lies to give Mirage some much needed attention, since they only play Gypsy.

For the Australian/NZ tour, they should replace the large video screen footage with the moonwalking Sheffield pony.
