Re: My immediate thoughts on Robert

[Tim Fricke <oldstyle5150@xxxxxxxxx>]

If Robert had no intention of playing more than just that one show,
then I wish they wouldn't have done it. I'd still be pissed at him for
preventing a reunion, but probably not as much as I am now. I'm also
furious that it's been nearly 2 years since that show and we have no
DVD release. With each passing day I become less hopeful that we will
ever see its release. Obviously I was not lucky enough to be in
attendence for that show. I'm going to die never having the
opportunity to see my favorite band ever live in concert and that
depresses me.
