Both Chris and Lindsey have expressed their disappointment in the lack of success in their solo careers. I think it hurt Lindsey more though. To be fair, the mid 80s were tough on all 70s bands. Even Stevie's slick embrace of 80s synth pop did not yield huge results. Although she was already established as a credible solo star. If there was no pop tune Talk To Me given to her and she had not recorded 2 prior successful solo albums, RAL would have been laughed at. Both Chris and Lindsey's 1984 solo albums are far superior to Stevie's 1985 RAL and she spent a fortune to record it over 2 years.

Stand Back was huge, thanks to Prince and her use of disco, but the album itself wasn't. If the album was huge, then Trouble in Shangri-La was huge too. |

![]() You also have to consider, in addition to her wanting to be in a band vs. solo ...she was in the band and toured more tours than LB and SN. By the time Tusk ended, I can imagine she wanted to breath before the next FM album / tour. She was also the band leader IMO during the Tango and especially BTM tours. It's a lot of work.

![]() That’s right. In October 1986, Yamaha released its KX88, the first completely programmable and assignable MIDI keyboard, and Christine picked that up for the 1987 tour, thanks to Dan Garfield. Before the KX88 and its terrific touch sensitivity and weighted hammer action, if you wanted a grand piano, you had to rely on a real grand or a handful of modules or the DX7 (which had no hammer action). Not super-duper.

![]() I have tried. My fingers kept slipping off the keys. And the sound wasn't great. When there are no dynamics (other than loud or soft) the shuffle sounds like crap.

![]() I bet! And the left hand is constantly doing intervals that need bounce.
