When did she start to thank the city?

True. Its the beauty of a spontaneous live concert. During the 1987 tour before any music started Christine always yelled out "Hello Pittsburgh (or whatever city they were in). Then after Say You Love Me, Stevie would most times say something to the city too. Neither was guaranteed every night but it was typical. Its a nice personal touch when artists acknowledge where they are. They don't always do that.
I remember in 2014 Quebec suffered a horrible terrorist attack and the Mac played the next night. The band took from flack on this board for not acknowledging fresh wounds in the city they were playing.
Going back to Chris's Jackson NJ solo concert, there was a horrible dark ride/fun house fire that killed 8 teenagers a week prior to her show at the park. She mentioned it and dedicated Songbird for healing. Class act!
