A few observations: Concerts are a big $ business these days. A typical brothers show is about 7 semi's nose to tail. Also, about 40 IATSE hands and riggers. Most folks would really be amazed to see what it takes to get a show up and running - then tear it down and have it up and running 400 miles away the very next day. And we havent even mentioned the local event staff and other related services needed. Its a business. Opinion - Warren is the "strongest" overall member of the band ever. Vocals - writing - slide - lead. Hardcore with no let up. He sings circles around FRB and gives greg a run for his money any day of the week. But what did you expect maximule to say. Derek is the best guitarist in the bands history - sorry Duane fans. It took me a long time to admit this to myself but I believe it. The band is better off without FRB! He brings a very distinct flavor to the band. Nobody plays a crowd better than FRB. But from what I hear the deamons are too much to offset his continued membership. And just another opinion. If warren and allen hadnt been there in the 90's - i believe that there is a very distinct chance the band would not be playing today. They put the focus where it needed to be - on stage! Just my opinions!
