It's hard to beat Saraba to the punch on these things...
Nice read, thanks! Yeah, I did notice the "Contra" mistake! Now I'm going to have to go listen to the theme song from Contra...it's been too long, don't remember what it sounds like.

also Sweden is like a half day ahead of St. Louis...so...don't feel bad, BH
I'm sort of geeked to hear that they'll be playing the songs in sequential order. :) Was wondering about that.

BH, she lives in the future. It's Wednesday there already. Sara clearly had the advantage, I think you both tied ;)
Thanks, Sara and BH! 8-)

Hahaha, yup I totally live in the future and actually we don't have a lot of MMJ stuff here in the future since all the info comes from the past. I do however have some lottery numbers for you guys and gals... ;)
a different opener every night!!! (hoping dr dog is in there :))

Just when I think they couldn't be any dumber...they go and TOTALLY REDEEM THEMSELVES!
Seriously? I mean I just assumed there's no openers for this. If Dog opened, I don't know what I would do. IF WAX FUCKING FANG OPENS I MIGHT KNOCK OVER THE ENTER PIT WITH MY HUGE ERECTION
Ooooh, Dr. Dog or the Fang would be so nice. :)
I know they'll do us right with these openers.

It should definitely be interesting to see how everything comes full circle. They're songs like "Honest Man," "Just Because I Do," and "Butch Cassidy" that we haven't done in years. I don't even think we've ever done those live.
I don't understand what he's talking about in the last sentence. What are the THOSE he is referring to - the 3 songs he just listed? Because they've certainly played those songs live a ton. I was wondering if he meant with the band in current incarnation - but a quick search of the archive shows those songs played occassionally in 06, 07, 08.... does he really not remember playing them?

While I am slightly saddened it is not fang, those are all interesting and I've never heard of any of them aside from Dungen

I think he meant with the current lineup, or maybe he just meant Butch Cassidy because he says this on the very next question:
I don't think there is anything that I really want to stay away from, not at this point in my career. There were definitely songs like "Just Because I Do" and "Honest Man" that we have stayed away from for a while now. I'm not even sure why we've stayed away from them. It's probably because we played those two songs so much in the first year we started that we just stopped playing them once new material was produced. But I'm looking forward to bringing those songs back. Songs like "Nashville to Kentucky" we've done recently with Carl Broemel doing a sax solo and "They Ran" we did a couple times and had this big kind of loungy ending. So I'm excited to see how these songs work out. It would be boring to plainly watch us go straight through the album, so it's going to be interesting to see what happens to those songs once the five of us get together and improvise on them. It's going to make the songs different for ourselves and switch it up for everybody in the audience as well.Jim's only played Butch Cassidy three times ever, and I saw one of them. Nahna na nah na na.
