I agree and hope so too.

See my original point - if they couldn't play one, just once, on the 2002
tour, what was that about?

If it was too emotional to play one - why not say so?

I frankly couldn't believe that no one commented on any list I was on that
there wasn't a single John song being played.

Cheers,
