happy bday Chris - from Dublin, Stevie and Lindsey!!

elle · #1 07-11-2015, 09:02 PM

Stevie and Lindsey reprised their happy bday performance before Landslide, this time accompanied by the great Dublin crowd, the whole arena singing with them!

it sounded great, hopefully Christine heard it behind the stage (apparently Stevie and Lindsey are too dense to realize singing happy bday to someone who cannot hear them is not that effective). 15000 people wishing you happy bday must be pretty special!

madnessfades has a video, hope he comes on here eventually and maybe share.

The audience sang happy birthday to Christine TWICE and so did Stevie and Lindsey! Best night ever

so - enough people in Dublin audience knew it was Christine's bday, and sang it unprompted too!! love when that happens!

wonder before which songs they sang it - hope video of that - with Chris on stage - surfaces too!

Apparently before they both move to San Jose, a trip to live in Ireland and sing there together is in order. And Linds is getting ready for the post-FM convention game with Stevie.

We also sang it to her before she started Songbird, I think she appreciated it!

It was right before landslide. I have it on video as well, I'll try to upload it on YouTube when I get back in Amsterdam tonight.

oh i love this one because you can REALLY hear the whole audience singing and harmonizing - go Dublin!!

yes looks like they implied this is a good prep for once FM disbands so they can do conventions, bar mitzvahs, birthdays and such, i guess since they are kind of people that never want to stop performing.

maybe there's gonna be back to the steakhouses career for BN after all!!

Thanks for getting this video.

And yeah, it cracks me up! In 2013, their go-to post-FM career together was as comedians. Guess they had a chat and decided the convention circuit would be better. Stevie's stuck on street corners as always. Pretty sure she was saying that about singing in Paris in 2009 too, when she intro'd Landslide. Thankfully the 'always lovely' Lindsey decided they could all go perform though so as to save her from that fate.

Thanks for sharing that Elle, I haven't been on here in ages.
I better make more an effort lol...

Seasonsofmylife · #11 07-12-2015, 02:36 PM

Here's my video. Sound isn't great, but alas. Had to laugh at Stevie, walking up to Lindsey, beckoning him with her finger

ViscountViktor · #12 07-12-2015, 02:53 PM

How low is Stevie's part!

michelej1 · #13 07-12-2015, 03:04 PM

Oh wow. Thank you everyone, Elle, Nicole and Madness Fades, for telling us about it and then embedding the video. They're very funny. I love how Stevie kept saying "wherever she is". How many places could Christine be? Unless she heads back to the hotel between songs ...

Good to see you Madness Fades.

Michele

Thanks Elle, unfortunately I don't have any videos of us singing Happy Birthday. We did it twice, right before Songbird and also when she joined the stage again after Landslide and NGBA. Stevie was acting like a artistic leader (don't know if I say this right...), waving with her fingers to make sure we sung it the right way. It was spontaneous and funny!
