Yes, on all of the other. Upright for Tusk and Mirage. Although, the Live album doesn't sound like an upright even tho it is. (NTF)

I only remember Not That Funny and Sara on the upright.

Don't Stop? that was upright, too. No? I'm asking. I honestly can't remember.
U.S Fest she used the grand.

Maybe if you did not spend so much time at that darn concession stand buying hot dogs, pop corn, and slushies you would have saw Don't Stop and remembered it.

You can tell she loves the Columbus crowd. They got a treat.

Years later, in the Tango tour era, she ditched the upright and only used the grand—and occasionally played Stevie’s HAEWAFY on it. In The Dance era, she played the opening passages of Rhiannon and all of Silver Springs on it, but not Don’t Stop. |

Most definitely. I would love to know the attendance of the show. The crowd is on fire. I wish I could magically go back in time at my age and car. Just think. You could have seen this show in Columbus on the 8th, drove to Cleveland on the 9th, then drove to Pittsburgh for the 11th and could have been almost front row or very close each night.

Yes it appears she has used 2 styles of pianos in concert. Interesting fact. I am not a piano expert so I am curious why Sara and NTF were used on the upright. Dont Stop has always been played on a grand until later years when the electric keyboard could sound just like a real piano.
I would love to hear it directly from her since they are her songs. But any piano experts around? Maybe because I have the visual in my head of her playing the upright on Sara and NTF but it seems cooler IMHO. I know songs like Songbird are more delicate and made to be played on the grand.

The problem was rectified by the time of The Dance because by then the grand piano was placed on a rotating disc that also included her keyboards, so whenever she played one of them, the stage rotated. However, such an ingenious device was not used for the On With The Show tour. There, the piano was air lifted onto the stage for one song—Songbird. All other piano parts were shared by her and Brett on electric pianos. And in 2018, the piano was left home. |

And I agree that uprights sound more "honky tonk", plus the visual of her playing it on the other side of the stage.

You’re likely right. A lot of production for very little use of the piano. I wish she’d played it more…

For Tango, the grand piano did rise out of the stage. I remember seeing that and thinking, wow that's so cool. I was not there for Mirage so cant comment. I think the visual in my head was I have seen Chris play the upright piano endless times on the Mirage concert on NTF and the Sara video led me to believe the Dont Stop shuffle was done on the upright. It was in my head even though it was not accurate. Is not a shuffle a bit of honky tonk? It's what was always in my head. My first live witness of Dont Stop was on her 1984 solo tour. But every tour I have seen on youtube shows her playing the grand piano for Dont Stop. When technology came out the grand piano may not have been needed as much. I suppose because it was always used for Songbird, why not use it for HAEWAFY too.
