Default Chris playing guitar on Tusk tour?

Came across this photo of Christine playing an acoustic guitar onstage during the Tusk tour. Anyone know what song(s) she played it on? I can’t remember seeing her with a guitar before.

I have a video of her playing The Ledge in rehearsals(on an OLD computer) . She kills it. There are a LOT of chords in that song. She ain't no $tevie Nicks on guitar.

Really demonstrates that they should have done the song together on the album, rather than make it a Lindsey solo piece.

He truly got in his own way as a band member and a solo artist.
When I see these live version with the band, it kills me that we didn't get more of a "band effort" for Tusk. Those band rehearsals are fantastic.

He's a phenominal arranger until he isn't. Let the juices of those Brits melt into your arrangements. They are quirky too.

Having said that, Go Insane is arranged to perfection, (IMO). And it's concise.

He seemed to embrace it more after OOTC tanked. For all it’s faults, SYW has the most true band feel since Rumours (at least with Lindsey).

However, my problem is how he talks about not making Rumours II while constantly trying to remake Go Insane, with slight variations.

What drove me crazy is that his keyboards, bass and drums all sounded like Christine, John and Mick respectively, but slightly less interesting. All that fighting and you nearly producing the same thing...

And not just Go Insane, but Big Love, SHN, and ..... and ....

Hard to be cutting edge when the compositions are all variations of each other.

There's also a video of The Ledge where she plays guitar.
