: I thought '81 was a good compromise - arrangements that worked for huge venues but didn't sound programmed. They were a little ragged, and sometimes clunky on the first few numbers, but the guitars dominated and when they hit a groove, it was for real.
"...and when they hit a groove, it was for real."
That is quite gorgeous description of '81. Just GORgeous. Because this was when the weaving was a-threading, of a truth!
Do they feel the push to play like that agin, sans too many singers&horns?
I don't know if we'll have the chance to find out.(ugh! the prophetess of doom!)
