Not a ton of new info (no Unstaged release planned) but some interesting bits (they recorded Muppet-ized versions of "Friends Again" and "Outta My System" what we will someday hear).

This is new, though "grain of salt" time

YANP: You must've kept some souvenirs from your time in the band. If the Smithsonian came calling, what would be the coolest piece of memorabilia you, personally, could offer them?

Tom: Notebook pages that contain the band-created Mab Libs, aka what is actually being spoken at the end of "Off the Record". But they're unfortunately locked in a time capsule to be opened in the year 2084.

Thanks for the heads up, Matt.

They can all play each others instruments? I would LOVE to see Jim play the drums.
And so there is going to be a t5 box set! I'd only ever heard rumors! This sin't a rumor to right? Please let it be true...

I didn't even consider that they could all play each other's instruments when I asked that question.

It's not the same as live, but here's a little taste:
