Fortunately, the unease was momentary. After covering “Hit the Road Jack” (intermittently substituting her own name in the chorus), the band returned to calm her again, leading her in the gorgeous crescendo of “Love & Communication,” the finale of The Greatest. And at that moment, it was.
Then at the lip of the stage, side-by-side the band members who’d joined her for a Rent-style goodbye-until-the-encore singalong, Marshall thanked everybody for coming, pointed at her mug, and said, “Sober! Tea.” Hmm, those kinds of health problems.
