Yes, it was very well done. It was cool hearing him say how he didn't see daylight for a couple weeks with that record. Personally, when Dark Matter came out, I loved floating around on the lake listening to it in nature.

I also appreciate him expressing a lack of fear regarding his own death.

If you fear it how can you enjoy life? Funny EV and I are the same age he grew up in Evanston myself in Chicago, both love sports, wine and utterly worship The Who! Strange 🌎...My favorite part was Jeff describing listening to the MommaSon tape and after the second listen he was like yeah Stone, Mike you need to come over ASAP...can you imagine after thinking their shot was over w/ Andy dying and here was this voice from the Gods saying take II🍷

That's a beautiful perception. Thanks, V

It was. If it's more than a minute old it's usually posted here and everywhere a few times

I mean, it's CBS Sunday Morning.  Expectations shouldn't have been too high.  Pretty blah piece.  I think if you're presenting a piece for the masses, it does an ok job reminding folks that they're still around.  Honestly, a ton of CBS viewers probably haven't heard much since the mid-90's. I guess the dressing room footage was cool for us bigger fans, but the rest is stuff we've seen/heard before.

They did give the overview that they've been around for almost 35 years, they have their 12th album out, and they provided the origin story.  I wish they would've mentioned more about their legacy (albums sold, R&R Hall of Fame induction), maybe make the argument that this is one of the biggest American rock bands of all time.  It felt like it was just an interview with a band that's stayed together for a long time and "hey, you remember when they had that grudge against Ticketmaster back in the day?"

89 shows in America over a decade...that's sad...I don't consider them a touring band.

They are certainly not the Foo Fighters. But that is what makes each show they do play a gift.

I wonder why Dave would want to be on the road so often

AGREED!  they are a business first and foremost.  They have to meet a certain revenue goal each year to draw salaries and pay their employees.  whether its 20 shows at 200$ or 200 shows at 20$, they need to make budget.  

As they've gotten older the have found a way to be more efficient, less shows at way higher prices, with high volume stadium shows sprinkled in (each stadium show equals about 3 arena shows).  

Point is, they are going to play less shows at higher prices.  We just have to accept it and enjoy concerts we are lucky enough to attend!

For the CBS piece, I was able to watch the 8 minute version when it came out.  From the PJ email it mentions “full length” but I can’t access the content in Canada. Does the email link take you to the 8 min piece, or an extended interview like the one CBS did with REM (40+ min)?
