Absolutely. I also love Everywhere from that tour. I think it was decently horrible on the Dance tour. I really loved Stevie singing "I want to be with you EVERywhere..."

True, some GREAT Christine songs on the Tango and BTM tours....Everywhere, Isn't it Midnight, Little Lies, Brown Eyes...but then there are those songs that, while Billy and Rick get credit for doing a good job, I just could never warm up to their versions...in particular, the "big guns," The Chain and Go Your Own Way. Both of these songs seemed to just lose all of their punch. As a matter of fact, The Chain has never been the same since then, even with Lindsey in '97 and '03-'04. Both songs were so emotional on the Mirage Tour and then were so blah after that. Go Your Own Way seemed to have come back to life but The Chain has, in my opinion, remained subpar ever since.

I completely agree. The Mirage tour was in credible for The Chain and GYOW. The Chain I think has lost its punch because there really isn't that tention anymore, so really the song is just "lyrics that speak the emotion of another time." I loved GYOW on the Mirage tour because Stevie really stole the show by wailing the end "AHHHHHH YOU CAN CALL IT UNDER, THE LONELY, AH THE LONELY, THE LONELY DAYYYYYYYYY..."

Mirage GYOW was perfection, raw emotion - Lindsey's awesome "BABY I'd GIVE YOU MY WORLD" and "OPEN UP", Stevie's Woah's and ahh's, and Christine's subtle lyrical foundation in the background were just incredible together. I always hated the way Billy sang that song. Rick's playing was technically fine, but I found the last solo in particular to be uninspired and boring. It was too anthem-like...which is fine for some bands and some songs, but not an emotionally charged song like GYOW.

I respect Rick a lot. He's a decent guitarist and unfortunetly didn't really go anywhere in his career. However, I think Billy sucks miserably. I don't believe they should've performed any Lindsey song, just like I don't believe Stevie should sing Landslide unless she's has a strong connection with whoever's playing the guitar.

Kick Ass version of The Chain from 1980 ... it proves your point, I think.
