Well haha you certainly almost had me....but seriously my siter always said it looked like a wig on the Dance tour since when she would bob over playing her piano, her hair wouldn't move. WHY in the world is she wearing a wig??

I have the source CD of the Mountain View 1997 show. Are you saying I'll hear less Chris on this than I will on a show from earlier in tour?

I'm not sure. I can tell you once you get into November 1997, you will definitely hear less of her on Not That Funny than you did in the New York, Pennysylvania and New Jersey shows that took place that first month.

At the Starlake Amphitheater in Pennyslyvania, everyone was freezing and Christine wore gloves, with just the finger tips out.

Hmmmm...I saw two of The Dance shows, in neither one did Mick play guitar at ALL. So those shows must've been REALLY special.

Well, it was still percussion, because he slung the guitar around his neck and beat the strings -- which Lindsey has also done, as a matter of fact.

I meant drum.

Remember how the old ledgies here used to love talking about the GREEN liquid? the mysterious green liquid? Remember how Hayley used to laugh & laugh about the mysterious green liquid? How Ava would emphasize the mystery? and how Lauren would ask for explanations?

(For a hint about what it was, see the Peter Weir film THE YEAR OF LIVING DANGEROUSLY.)

This remains one of my favorite films.

At the first concert in Mansfield, MA I saw Christine smoking a cigarette before she came back on stage for NTF.

Wow, interesting! She'd claimed in a 1997 interview that she'd quit smoking some years earlier. Guess it didn't last.

She said she started again when her marriage broke up. I think it lasted for some years but then I suppose with the stress and everything she started again.

I saw her smoking on stage once in Manchester during one song! It was (I think) Never going back again. Stevie was sitting with her on the piano stool and she took a drag of the cigarette, blew out the smoke, leaned in to microphone and did her backing vocal. I remember thinking at the time that it was very cool (not the smoking you understand - filthy habit - but it looked cool)

If stress caused by the end of her marriage to Eddie led to Christine taking up smoking again, maybe her current low-stress lifestyle has led to her quitting again. I certainly hope so, for her sake.

that's a cool story gail....

when i saw joni mitchell she was with the london phil orchestra... she lit up a smoke in the middle of the song... dressed in a beautiful flowing dress, she smoked and sang and it was so cool.... the smoking and the song was kool......

i have no problem with people smoking as long as i don't smell it.... but to me it's your body and it's up to you to treat it accordingly...

nicepace · #30 09-07-2008, 07:08 AM

I'm sorry, but I don't agree. I don't think there is anything remotely cool about smoking, under any circumstances whatsoever.

As I understand it, smoking has ruined Joni Mitchell's voice.

We're fortunate that the same didn't happen with Christine.
