why dont people get that they wont play the 12 steps, it lasts over an hour and that would leave time for like 1 or 2 songs to finish the set, if you are gonna hope, hope for something that is logical
i think people are implying that, as has been in the past, after PN09 is over, the band will set out on its own headlining tour, generally with one opening act. their sets tend to be closer to two and half, sometimes three, hours. it's likely that during said tour, at least on some dates, crowds will see the entirety of the 12-step suite. i'm certainly hoping to get it in dc, i'd love to hear the glass prison in person.
oh, and for the record, while i'd much rather get TCOT again, i wouldn't be sad to hear wither played live. it's like the littlest child of the family that is BC&SL. it's not epic, it's only 5 minutes long, so in the company of the other epics that populate the album, it gets looked at as the weakest track on the album.
