Sorry, Liz Reed without Dickey just doesn't cut it. This point was driven home for me by:
A) The ABB doing this as an ENCORE at the 3-15-02 show at the Beacon, and man, what a letdown. Gregg didn't even come out for it (Kofi ran out and manned the B-3 until Gregg recovered from whatever was ailing him). Even though I was front row center, it was a huge letdown.
B)INMHO, neither IMOER nor Jessica sound right without Dickey-after I saw him In Indy (finally) this year, both versions that the DBB did were superior to the ABB's versions.
This is not a philosphical issue-strictly a matter of personal taste. They can play whatever they want, but as long as I buy a ticket to a show or buy their records, I reserve the right (remember that Stillwater LP? Classic) to voice an opinion, as long it falls within the boundaries of proper decorum.
Of course, anyone who knows me even on an informal basis knows that staying within the boundaries of proper decorum presents a real challenge to me...
