Easy Come Easy Go would not have worked as well live. Of all the new songs that were brought to the Dance show, Temporary One got the most energetic response. That's coz it's a great, driving tune that calls for a lot of vocal participation in the chorus. In other words: classic Christine.

Classic Christine was what was missing on SYW.

The remaining members all know it too. They pretend they didn't miss her (well all of them except Stevie) but with the talk about "more freedom" and "testosterone" methinks they doth protest too much.

I don't think I'll buy another FM album in this lifetime without Christine, because I tried it once and it didn't work.

To my ears and eyes, Bleed to Love Her got the best response and the greatest follow-up interest among fans, but I think the famous FM harmonies contributed to that. And Christine's muted presence on SYHA and Bleed to Love Her not only catch the ear on SYW but, I believe, is what caused those particular cuts to make the album, even though they'd already been released elsewhere.

It got the best critical response, but I'm pretty sure Temporary One got louder cheers...At least that's what I recall. And as I type this I realize, who cares? LOL.

That's funny how different audiences can be. Whenever I saw the show, Temporary One got few "cheers" at all. Rather, it was one of those moments when I noticed people leaving their seats to get snacks like they did during Come for the SYW tour. I never leave my seat during a concert for any reason, so I didn't join them when they fled. But I didn't like Temporary One. Then, later when my father died in May 2005 and I was looking for words and music to use at his funeral, Temporary One took on new meaning for me and I developed an appreciation for both it and Turn It On that I had never known before.

As for the Dance tour, there's no doubt that the audience absolutely ate up Say You Love Me. It was one of the highlights of the concert and also so wonderful during the RRHOF, achingly so.
