Well Richard has been around since '96 so that's quite a catalogue of songs.
Exactly. The band probably has to prepare for a lot more songs than they actually end up playing. As a just-in-case thing.Not that I expect any huge setlist shake-up, but I AM curious if this year will be a bit different than usual, given that the band is bigger and because Mark seem a bit different in interviews. More upbeat, direct and personal. I don't expect anything revolutionary in the guitar department; it's pretty unrealistic that he's put himself on a strict practice regime to return to form. That said, he's got so many great songs that don't rely on guitar wizardry and are more suited to where he's at now, including a lot of the songs on the latest album, that it's still possible to shake things up and create a fresh, wonderful show.
