Wow, thanks for the review- definitely odd but interesting. I mean, complaining that they played for 2 hours instead of just 40 minutes? For that much money, people should get more than a half hour of music, I think. And the band did make accommodations for the audience, skipping Songbird and Sisters of the Moon, for example.

I was surprised that someone (olive, maybe?) thought they should have played Over and Over instead of Think About Me- I love both songs but they made the right decision for that crowd. And it's not like Think About Me is a staple of their show- when's the last time they sang that song in America?

Over & Over is a way better song than Think About Me, especially live, at least 1979-1980. But it would be cool for the 2017 tour. Over & Over is Christine's best song on Tusk.

Over and Over is great on the album, kind of a snoozer live. Think About Me has great energy and gets you up out of your seat.

I love the live Over and Over from the live album and the Tusk deluxe, there's also one or two rehearsal videos from 1979 of Over and Over on YouTube that are good. If you think about Christine's set songs 2014-2015 (You Make Loving Fun, Everywhere, Say You Love Me, Little Lies, Don't Stop) they're all poppy upbeat Christine songs. Songbird is really the only slow one. I think Over and Over would make a great addition to the Tusk section of their setlist, especially because they played it on the Tusk tour and it's the first song on the album. The end when they all three sing the "over and over" part is so great and then a nice guitar instrumental from Lindsey.
