For Tango, the grand piano did rise out of the stage. I remember seeing that and thinking, wow that's so cool. I was not there for Mirage so cant comment. I think the visual in my head was I have seen Chris play the upright piano endless times on the Mirage concert on NTF and the Sara video led me to believe the Dont Stop shuffle was done on the upright. It was in my head even though it was not accurate. Is not a shuffle a bit of honky tonk? It's what was always in my head. My first live witness of Dont Stop was on her 1984 solo tour. But every tour I have seen on youtube shows her playing the grand piano for Dont Stop. When technology came out the grand piano may not have been needed as much. I suppose because it was always used for Songbird, why not use it for HAEWAFY too.

I actually loved the piano intro's to SS And Rhiannon. Beautiful.

Agreed. She should have used the piano on more songs.

They should have done Why a lot more with piano intro. The boot I have with B Welch has the Come a little Bit Closer plus Why Intro. Kind of cool.

Hey Macfan, what do you think of the backing vocals on Spare Me.

Just fantastic in my opinion. Sounds like Bare Trees!! (her harmony with herself)

Yes very good. I love the uptempo Just Crazy Love too.
George and her band harmonizes with her really well. Its incredible how a tour with Loggins Messina created songs, solo bands, marriages, friends, duets, etc for the rest of the band's existence.
