New lead singer Mary Ramsey, who sounded almost too much like Merchant at first, proved that she is beginning to establish herself in the band.

McLachlan closed with hit "Sweet Surrender," and then returned to play the quirky, yet endearing song, "Ice Cream." For the latter, the band's drummer--who is also her husband--joined her at the front of the stage with two small drums.
