It's funny you said that - I thought the exact same thing when I saw the video from the Minneapolis show...Lindsey's "tell me tell me lies" sounded exactly like Billy to my ears.

I saw FM on the Unleashed tour in 2009, and lemme tell you, I am gonna rename that tour the "Stevie Don't Give a *****" tour.... because, compared to last night, it was OVIOUS that in 2009 she hated being there!! From Dreams onward you could just tell she was giving 100% on Every Single Note that came out of her mouth!!! She sounded great. At least as good as on the Dance tour.

I think that Christine has been frozen in Carbonite since 1998. She sounds the same, if not better than the bootlegs of the Dance Tour that I have collected over the years. She literally sounds exactly like she did for The Dance DVD. She even is hitting the high notes in Don't Stop better than she did end of the last tour in UK when she joined FM onstage at the end of the tour. She is BACK.

Little Lies was a treat, and so was Seven Wonders. Nice to have THREE TITN songs back in the set. I just wish that Mirage would get more love than just Gypsy and that Tusk would get more love than Tusk and I Know Im Not Wrong though I think that Sisters of the MOon is a slight improvment over last tour's SOTM. Stevie seems to be trying for a more dynamic vocal on it at least. And Christine's added keyboard organ is better than whatever I heard from last tour.

Im confused what happened at beginging of Say You Love Me. Christine was playing something totally different than the beginging of SYLM.

AND Another thing I noticed, Christine was NOT playing the beginning chords of Silver Springs!!!! She was bent over and turned around from her keyboard messing with her monitor behind her while the downward descending notes of SS were playing!!! What is that all about? Was she supposed to be PRETENDING to play piano and missed her queue? Whhaaaaaa? Please don't tell me she was pantomiming the whole show!?!

The United Center venue was WARM and Humid inside. DUring the concert there was a severe thunderstorm outside and by time we got back outside it was much cooler.

Seven Wonders sounds great! I was scared it would sound strained, or worse, she would be screaming the lyrics.

Silver Springs is lowered to B now compared to the original key of C. As a piano player that's a nightmare key to play in. All the black keys. So i'm guessing that's why?

Definitely improved Seven Wonders from the first show! Plus, Stevie was smiling quite a bit at audience members - something that she usually doesn't do so much of at Mac shows (compared to solo).

Great to see.

Damn, that was good! I love it when Stevie is singing with passion and not just phoning it in. Thanks for sharing your video!

The Tusk section needs to be reworked. "Tusk" and IKINW are fine, but "Sisters" just isn't very interesting today without the vocal fire. It's all very one-note, and the last verse ("So we make our choices") gets drowned out by Lindsey guitar. "Think About Me" and "Angel" would be my picks for replacements.

Good to see they still have that extra percussionist hidden behind Mick and Lindsey whose existence they seem to completely deny...

MusicInferno · #70 10-03-2014, 10:52 AM

One question: Why does Stevie keep on putting one hand behind her back? Is she adjusting her mic pack?

Nice capture of the song. The band sounds great! Can't say enough how fantastic it is seeing Christine back on stage with them. Love it when Stevie calls Chris "our girl"! Chris has pumped new life into this band!

The MAC IS BACK!!

Thanks for sharing your video!
