come on guys, give us some nice descriptions! you are just vetting our appetite to hear more with these tidbits!

what happened when Chris came back on stage after NGBA, how the singing started, what did Chris do, did the rest of the band join the audience in singing happy bday Chris?

and then before Songbird: was Chris the only one on stage, or her and LB, did LB join in with the audience, how did Chris react, did she say anything, etc etc?

You tell me, English isn't my first language so I have no idea

I'll get back to your other questions after work. Gotta run!

Off topic: Nicole, how do I add more than one quote to my reply, just like you do?

I still don't know how to quote more than one person, so I just used your message Elle. I hope I find out how it works one day

Anyway, when Chris, John and Mick came back onstage after NGBA the crowd started to sing Happy Birthday to Chris. Stevie walked to the front of the stage, Chris' side, and started waving her hands like a conductor (thanks Elle!). I couldn't see if she sung along with us, maybe she did, but I was on Lindsey's side of the stage and I was focused on Chris' face and Stevie's hands. Lindsey kept himself busy with his guitar, John grabbed his bass and Mick took place behind his drums. I didn't see them sing along as well, but again, I wasn't really looking at them...

Right before Songbird, when she took place behind her piano we started singing Happy Birthday again and she turned to face the crowd and patiently waited until it was over. Lindsey was onstage as well and all ready to play Songbird. I think Chris even thanked us after singing But I can't remember her exact words anymore. Or maybe she thanked us after the first time we sung it...

I'll try to remember more details next time

Note: click on the images below for the full size.

When you go to quote somebody, all you do is press the 'quote' button on the lower right corner of the box, right? Right next to it is a smaller icon with a page symbol, quotation marks and a tiny little plus. THAT is the one you need to press.



Simply click that on each post you want to quote (it'll turn orange when you do so; you can also de-select it).





Then click 'Post Reply' at the bottom left of the thread.



All the messages you want to quote will appear in a new box so you can respond to each of them.

Here's a video from the singing right before Songbird, I thought the whole arena was singing HBD but by the sound of it it was only the people near the stage. You can't really hear the singing, but you can hear Chris telling us we sing better than the band



OT: Thanks Nicole! I finally get it!
