Atleast I know I'm not going to be disappointed.

I'm in almost total disagreement with the original points. My thoughts :

1. I saw 5 shows last year, 28 in 06, and 19 in 05. I saw 51 different songs last year, 133 in 06 and 97 in 05. I was pleased with the variety.

2. I've sat all over the place at the 68 shows I've attended and only had two issues with the sound /volume, 2005 NW School Benefit when Mike's monitor fritzed out and Philly 2005 during the now famous version of Crazy Mary when the sound went to hell. 2 occasions, single occasions not complete shows, out of 68 isn't too bad. In fact, it's less than 3%.

3. You have your wish. As you probably heard, the 10C has changed it's distribution policy to allow different folks a shot at rows 1, 2,9,10 through a seat lottery of sorts. As for your characterization of people, some of who are friends or acquaintances of mine and are very dedicated fans, I'll refrain from stooping to your level in my response to you.

4. Why limit the closer to any particular songs; something you yourself appear to do. Agree with "close with whatever".

5. Wrong again. I'm a 40+ male and I collect . To me , posters are no different than t's, hoodies, or other merch. Mementos of my time on the road.

6. Shorter shows? You have somewhere better to go ? Sorry , but that's nuts.

What a thread!

tighter shows --> yes
turn Mike up --> yes
vary the closing song --> maybe
itch powder on posters --> funny, but no
shorter shows --> please, no


I'd also like it if we saw some return to the official bootleg program. The 2000 and 2003 versions of the roll-out were what this band should be about. In fact, they should re-master the 1998s while they're at it.
