Anyone else think Mike has ditched the echo/delay on this tour?

From the 3 shows I've heard, it sounds like Mike hasn't been using the echo/delay/rotovibe effect as liberally as he used it. Anyone else notice this?

    Mike with a delay is heaven...

    i hope not.

    he never really used it a lot anyway.. maybe on the binaural tour.. he should use it more.
    Come on pilgrim you know he loves you..

    this tour, not many of the songs they are playing are really "delay-friendly".

    But when he does use it...mmmm, gorgeous.

    My favorite is on the St Louis 03 boot. At the end of his Black solo, he speeds up is echo, raising the pitch, and just when you think its as high as it can go he dumps it all the way back down, creating this gurgly effect. It just made that solo so memorable. He has done it a few times at other shows, but that is the best on I have heard. I think he uses it on Black in Lubbock 00. I kinda creates a spacey sound with it. Like freakin laser beams er something.

    I'm not a big fan of Mike's rotovibe and delay in a live setting. One exception has to be his tone on the Crown of Thorns solo from the MSG DVD. The slowed down part at about 4:00 minutes in (studio version) with his Les Paul and a little delay has to be some of the best tone I've heard from him. I orgasm every time I hear it.
