It's 3 guys who got their hands full, and if they want a big sound it's the only way for them to do so. And even then, as I understand it Neil Peart triggers the samples himself.And DT has 5 guys on stage. And they totally lost their spontaneity because their backing tracks (and videos) require playing to click. Somebody in the DVD thread said "oh, I love how JP played that one small line that doesn't appear on the record". MP had quite a few downsides, but he apparently was integral at keeping sterility out of DT by refusing to play to click and forcing the band to rotate around songs for each show.I would not put sterile and DT in the same sentence after they just had one of the best setlists in a tour for quite some time. I am really tired of all these nostalgia posts where everything is made to appear better in the good old days. if you don't want how they play nowadays, just watch the old DVDs.I agree about the set list. It's easily my favorite set list from them but it would still be nice to get an extended guitar solo or improv jam at the beginning of Scarred as was the case in 2002 and 2007.

Well, that didn't exist in Boston You just walked into the opera house, and there was no music playing.
