Ugh, I know all the monetary and festival headliner and 25 years of amazing music realities of this decision as I often speak to them, but I really do wanna see improv make a return in the set. Particularly when they do 3 nights at a venue and it's the same set, THAT seems boring. I want to see the Barking and Barbara material get the same treatment and evolution live that all the others have. I don't even really mean 20 minutes of improv, just restructure things in a surprising way; give us a slowed down dubbed out scribble, a live performance of 23 blue out of nowhere. It's too bad, cause I think that energy and anxiety of the unknown really resonates with dance music crowds.
