When I saw them in 1998, it was a totally different machine - slick, well polished, professional and (dare I say) boring. It was like a band going thru the motions |
I truly don't see them as going through the motions live. No way. Yes they are a slick machine as well they would be after so many years of outstanding shows.
My issue is i don't think the newer material suits what i want in a live gig. It's good, very good, but i don't want to see it live. I'm the same with Marillion and Dream Theater..
