Fair enough.  I don't expect "What is Quicksand" to appear on this,
everything from the official catalog.  As long as the fans provided some
guidance we should still be treated to some pretty good songs.  Count the
big three out of 16 tracks and you still have room to use at least one song
from every album, maybe even something from Imaginos.

>Remastered?  Keep dreaming!  Sony wants to spend about twenty cents
on the whole thing...

Dude, granted Sony are some cheap bastids, spending even twenty cents on an
another On Flame, Superhits...yada yada yada would be pointless even for
them.  Metal Edge says they will be remastered.  Gotta figure sales of HF
and possibly the MoFi set has convinced Sony there are a few more drops of
blue blood to squeeze from the Oysterboys.


>Hmm...I was 5th row at Saratoga for a show on that tour, and didn't
have any trouble with the noise.  It's strange, as JB suffers from
tinnitus--you'd think he would play with fewer dbs.  At any rate,
I'll be using protection--for my hearing, ya know!

'OK but enquiring minds (namely me) still would like to know what specific
type of ear protection you use.  Do use one type when doing gigs and another
when sitting in the fifth row?  I'm getting old so one day I would like to
hear my grand kids call me "grandpa". Hehehehehehehehehehehe
