not missing the concept, brother. just don't see the point of the concept. that would be like asking, i don't know, john mayer to do a techno-fied version of one of his shows. why would he do that?

saying they should play acoustically as though it's a given that it would be "awesome" devalues what they do in their live shows. their shows are great not in spite of the fact that they don't play acoustically, but because they don't play acoustically.

i wouldn't pay for an underworld show where they played an acoustic version of boy boy boy.
