[QUOTE=BrotherLovesDub;144334]I agree they could be classified as innovators with their live show, which makes what is currently happening live all the more disappointing. I can't be inspired to spend 5-700 to fly to SF to hear them play live versions that are virtually identical to the album version. It wasn't always like this.
unfortunately i think you are one of a "dying breed" amongst gig go-ers these days.
i don't think it will be "album versions" forever but for the moment its probably what the crowds they are playing to want.
