Christines Best - Behind the Mask Tour

[AliceLover]

On the video I have of the Behind the Mask tour, I feel that Christine was the star of this show. First off she looks absoltuley amazing and very thin as always. She seemed to be more of a star on these shows. She had a lot more interaction with the audience and took a lot of gifts from the audience. She also was on the stage a lot more for these shows IMO. On World Turning I loved seeing her on Micks drum kit jamming along with the rest of the band. Her version of Everywhere from this tour was astounding and she got a huge response from it. I loved hearing Save Me live. I thought she transferred it well to the stage. Too bad Skies the Limit never made it live, but oh well. I think this was also the one and only tour where Christine actually did a keyboard solo.

Best Christine Tour Ever!

The PICTURE of the BTM band is on that Brazilian guy's MIRAGE DVD that he sells on eBay. I'm fairly certain there was no BTM video.......or was there? Although I bought BTM the day it came out, I was pretty much out of the FM loop at that point in my life.

Christine was a happening lady on the 1990 tour. I totally agree. The earlier in the tour you can get videos of, the better. Las Vegas is a good video -- that's from June 10 or something.

I saw the June 1 show at Cal Expo in Sacramento & the Mountain View show a few days later. They played "Save Me" & "When the Sun Goes Down" on both nights. Chris played her accordeon on "When the Sun Goes Down." I also saw the Oakland show at the end of the tour, in December, but that was deadly dull for the most part. Still, Christine was fine that night.

I assume you mean the brief solo on "Stop Messin' Round"? But she solo'd a bit on earlier tours, too, like on "Don't Stop" & on "Get Like You Used to Be." In fact, she played essentially the same blues licks on all of them. (Notice how they're all shuffles?)

You shoulda been at the Forum the last night of the tour...it ROCKED!!

[SteveMacD]

Yeah, with Lindsey B. joining them for a few songs!

Actually, my favorite part of that tour was Christine's solos on "Stop Messin' Round." Just great to hear her show everybody she could REALLY play the piano!

I have a video of that show, at least through "Stand Back". I think Christine was the star of the show on both the Tango & BTM tours.

I never knew they did "When The Sun Goes Down"live, except for that rehearsal. And, I never knew that she played accordian on anything but "Tusk".

I am still in search of the Las Vegas video. Stevie did so much better near the beginning of that tour before all the weight gain near the end. I have When the Sun Goes Down Live and I liked it a lot. Of Course save me is always great love. Stop Messin Around was the most noticeable solo to me because it sounds different to me every version I hear unlike all the endings of Don't Stop from 77-82 where they all sound the same.

I HAD the last show on video with LB all the way through Stand Back and that was great.
