Maybe I missed something because I did not watch the entire video but only forwarded to the part where Chris is supposed to sing. She is an angel live on Sara.

I get the impression Nicole Barker doesn't like Christine very much. As I'm watching her videos on YouTube, it's like she's trying to avoid focusing on Christine, even on Christine's songs. There were no shots of Christine in Nicole Barker's Sara video or The Chain.

I am beyond bummed they didn't play Sara in America. While I'm grateful I got to see all five of them play in my lifetime and I got to see You Make Loving Fun, Everywhere, and Say You Love Me and Sara in 2013, Sara (and Hold Me) are my two most favorite songs and it would have been very sentimental to see all five of them perform Sara. I would have given up any other Stevie song for Sara. Vent over. I wonder why they went with Think About Me. I also wonder if they really rehearsed Hold Me back before the tour started last year. Bleed to Love Her is meh to me. I would rather have Eyes of The World with Christine back. Mirage is my favorite album. Gypsy is one of their best songs, but that album deserves more love than just Gypsy.

I Love Eyes of the World. such a fun, upbeat song. they did it on SYW but not since then. It would be great to hear with Chris back.

They did it on the last tour, too (the so-called "Live 2013" tour). And agreed, it's a great, fun song, and I'd love to hear Christine sing on it!

Your impression is close enough to correct. While I don't dislike Chris, I've never really been a fan, and my interest lays solely with Stevie and Lindsey. I tried to remember to focus over on Chris but she wasn't exactly near to where I was standing so it wasn't something I did as much as I probably ought to have, sorry. It just wasn't a priority to me. I wasn't trying to AVOID Chris. It's just that my natural instinct is to focus and film only SnL. Any Christine in my videos was because of a concerted effort to film her because I knew others would want me to. Apologies for not having enough of her in my videos, though.

I love the song Think About Me. I think if it would have been the first single from Tusk it would have made the top 10. But it still was a modest hit peaking at #20 pop and higher on rock charts. Tusk sold millions of albums and had 3 radio hits.
I hate to hear Christine say "this was a single that did not do terribly well." I have never heard anything like that at a concert before. Her depression comes through with her putting down her music. Last year she said her 2004 solo album was in the pits of hell.
Chris... stop putting down your music. You had most of the hits with Fleetwood Mac in the top 5, top 10, top 20 and even top 30.
I know how depression works since I suffered many years ago. You do put yourself down in subtle ways.
Think About Me was a hit on an album that sold millions.
Having got that off my chest......
I think Love In Store #22 peak is also a great hit and translates live better. I would love to hear that live again.

She later said it was decent and she just didn't promote In The Meantime. I feel a huge change in her over the last 2 1/2 years. She is really so upbeat about her music, nowadays. It's great to see.

Is it just me... or was that that best damned Sara since... 1980? Jesus. She nailed every note. Only complaint... that they did not use a REAL piano with the tacks on the hammers. Sara really needs a tack piano for the full effect.

It also seems to me that Stevie's voice is better on this leg than the beginning of the whole tour. She was trying Falsetto, using her quiet inside lush voice and hitting high notes she usually fears. Plus, at least for one show, she did Silver Springs up a key.

Christine also sounds great as usual.

You did a fantastic job on your recordings considering it was night 1.
I throughly enjoyed all your videos and after seeing them I am so looking forward to seeing the shows in Melbourne.
Thanks again job well done!!

Thanks! Haven't even used a camera since I was about eleven, so underestimated how sore my poor shoulders would get, lol. Will have to cut down on the footage I take a little bit, I think. Still. So amazing to see.

Oh, lovely. Glad you'll get to see them. It was really so great.

I know NOTHING about cameras and this was my first time using one since I was 11 and had a film camera - disposable and all.... It's just a small (but expensive-ish) digital camera. Had no issues bringing it in. http://www.amazon.com/Sony-DSC-RX100.../dp/B00889ST2G

Nicole .You did a beautiful job capturing the show.I have to check that camera you are using because my videos were ruined with distorted sound with my Nikon.Yes I understand what you mean about focusing "pun intended" on favorite band members.I do it with Stevie. Whats great seeing multiple show is I get a chance to capture video or snap shots everything.As long as the camera batteries last. I'm so upset how the sound came out with my tour videos and be embarrass to show them.

Thanks Nicole for sharing those awesome vids. I too was in row 5 and your vantage point looks very close to where I was.
What an unreal show. So glad you captured TAM. A definite fave and highlight.
Thankyou.

No problem! It was my first time seeing them live, so it was pretty cool getting to do so from five rows back. Good to know you had a spot nearby; it was pretty neat and I was just so impressed by how good everything looked and sounded.

Think About Me was pretty fantastic! Brown Eyes is my favourite of Christine's Tusk songs, but I much preferred this to the videos I've seen of Over My Head.
