it seems everyone is waiting for something that is not coming. these are old men playing (mostly)young music. fans want to hear the old shit, ive had several conversations with band members when i followed them (93-95) and they(esp. trey) were burnt way back then. i always had a request(usually an old song they never played)and trey told me on time that there's a reason they dont play certain songs, he didnt say why exactly but im assuming because they dont want to. despite all that they would usually grant me my request(aside from the occasional obscure cover). they are great guys, i just get the feeling that this(touring) is something they'd rather not do, but do it for their fans. ive seen a pattern developing over the past 20 years mirroring that of jerry's pressure to do the same in the 70's. i hope im wrong.
