While others hated the use of a string synthesizer and "half assed horns."
I love that they opened with Bob's psychedelic "Coming Home" on that tour. Chris only did one song from the new album then "Bad Loser" I suppose her sneaking in parts of Come A Little Bit Closer was her idea if no Welch could not do the same slide guitar as Weston.
Notice that Lindsey only played slide very early on. Slide guitar is harder than regular guitar. Especially while/if you're singing. For best results, you almost need to be a dedicated guitar player(non singer).
Great slide players are rare. Remember Bob Seger's Like A Rock? That's our own Rick Vito on that.
