Re: On bands that re-form

at
every one of the five shows I attended you could have heard a pin drop in
those arenas--the audience was hanging on every word.  

That alone would be worth the price of admission. I hardly ever attend
concerts in large venues anymore - it seems the audience is more
interested in hearing themselves scream or sing along than hearing the
artist they (and I) paid money to hear. James Taylor might be an
exception. Few other exceptions.
