Her 1984 version was at the grand piano. OMG she did that clever intro TWICE before starting the song. Sounded just like the record. That was an end of an era for the song because it would be decades before we heard it with the Buck/Vie tour. Lindsey's vocals with it was heaven but I am not sure the piano part was not pre-recorded and it definitely was not at a grand piano. I sense Chris never wanted to do the song without Lindsey which is why when he left it was not performed. But for the Dance? They had background vocalists then. It could have worked.

The piano was prerecorded. I watched her and Brett's hands, from front row. Neither was playing it.

Her solo tour was not professionally visually recorded (except for the Country Club) so video of it would be unlikely. But there are countless bootlegs around. I think her Jackson NJ show may have been professionally recorded (audio) because I have the bootleg on CD and it sounds great.
But here is Houston. Check it out at the 1:00:00 Hold Me starts. All real grand piano playing from start to end.
