I love the song and its the best song on Tango IMHO. I think Chris loved it too since she put it in the set on several tours. Oddly enough never played with Lindsey. The only thing I would change about the song is right before "looking back so long ago" Chris should have shouted "SECOND VERSE!"

The BuckVie tour was the opportunity. So sad they didn't include it. I would have replaced I'm So Afraid with the Tango in the Night song, at least on some dates.

Lindsey included Shut Us Down and Trouble. Christine should have included some solo songs, too.

I know. I am sure Lindsey told Chris to do some solo work. I would have loved to have heard some solo work. But Chris always puts her solo work last. It was the perfect opportunity.

I'm sure Chris was steadfast against putting any solo work in her set. Given how dismissive she always was of her own stuff that wasn't a hit, I'm sure it was a challenge enough to get her to resurrect Think About Me, Wish You Were Here, or All Over Again on her last three tours. A total shame that her solo, pre-75, and post-87 work was largely forgotten as she had some amazing songs during all of those years that would have been great to hear live.

If I was Lindsey, I would have forced her to do Got A Hold On Me. After Lindsey's very slow and acoustic Trouble opener, it should have been the second song.

She should’ve played it on the 1987-88 tour as well. If Stand Back and HAEWAFY were going to be there, why not her solo hit too?
