I'd definitely be interested in that interview if you find it, Mike. Pre-2000, a lot of the songs had different sounds and feels from the album versions. For example, just listen to Air Towel, Juanita, NUXX, and Dark Train from any of the 1996 shows. A lot of differences, sometimes radically so, from the studio versions. If you listen to 2000 or later performances of those same songs, they are much closer to the album versions. I always assumed that was Darren's doing, and Rick returned them to sounding more like the studio versions once he left.
