$tevie - "hey guys, I just took a massive dump!"

$tevie - "Nailed it!"

Two completely uninspiring and sad performances. It makes me very sad that we're missing out on what could and should have been a beautiful send-off for this band but given it's history, it is kind of fitting. Billy, Bekka and Rick were crapped on for YEARS by fans but at least when they went out and performed Lindsey or Stevie's old songs, they performed them as if they were their own. They had energy and passion. These performances had neither.

This performance just made me sad. This is how they ended their careers.

Very sad ..the worst version of Gypsy yet .No range whatsoever. While I like Neil in the context of Crowded House ,Split Enz and some of his solo work and with his brother he is just too bland to substitute for Lindsey .It is like watching remakes of "Gangs of New York " or "There Will be Blood " with Zac Efron in the Daniel Day -Lewis roles. Very disappointing way for this band to go out.

This. It’s like the substance has been zapped from the band. The Chain is a song about passion, anger, and stubborn determination- this rendition had none of those emotions. The only word to describe it was just sad. Deeply sad.

Gypsy was less unfortunate to me. Like others have said, it’s never translated to the stage well, and Stevie never seems to have been able to nail the vocal, even back in the early ‘80s. I think her adjusting the vocal here was smart- made it much less cringeworthy. I still find it horribly sad this was the song Stevie purposely chose to sing, though. Of any of her FM songs, Gypsy is the one most closely associated with her musical relationship with Lindsey. It’s the song of hers he was most proud to help develop, and it’s the one song Stevie chose to perform for the new line up’s world debut. No wonder she was grinning the entire time... she stabbed Lindsey in the back and just keeps twisting the blade.

I thought Neil sounded GREAT. At least he can still sing incredible high notes for his age other than someone else who sounds like Animal from The Muppets.

Don't talk bad about Stevie like that!

My exact thoughts on Gypsy. I honestly thought it wasn’t even going to be played on this tour. They’ve left on off 1 or 2 tours in the last 20 years with Lindsey. Gypsy along with Sara are the 2 Stevie songs that show off Lindsey’s production heinous on her songs and they just have a uniquely Lindsey vibe. Not only is it making the set, they’re playing it on TV?

I honestly thought both songs sounded pretty bad.
No harmonies during "The Chain." I could barely hear Stevie and on both songs I couldn't hear Christine at all.
She looks beautiful, but really frail.
She seemed more like a prop. She wasn't highlighted at all! Not even one solo vocal from her.
Hearing Neil singing "The Chain" felt odd.
I thought that was a really bad choice.
Stevie sounded very weak on 'Gypsy."
It seems she has really lost tons of range recently.
She had more range a couple years ago on the "24KG" tour.
I've never heard her sound like this.
No power in her voice.
She looked tired.
It made me really sad.
Like she was just going through the motions here.
Mike sounded like Mike. he's a good guitarist. Mick was Mick. He played fine.
I couldn't hear John's bass very well. The audio mix sounded generic and bad.
I don't understand the point of this tour.
They have plenty of money.
They shouldn't go out like this!
I knew it wasn't going to be good, but this is so sad.

All jokes aside. That pretty much sums up $tevie's life.
