One is that we have a five piece band that would have little or nothing to play on several of the guitar/vocal tunes from Hejira and they can be better featured on certain tunes that groove or rock. The other reason is we don't have every song on those records worked up yet. It's a memorization curve for Robin on every one of those lyrics, since we don't use lyric sheets on stage (ahem, Aimee Mann) and there are also guitar tuning logistics to consider when playing the live show keeping the momentum moving. Bob, this is a brand new arrangement of The Jungle Line, different from the Safaris to the Heart approach. I've reharmonized the whole song with dark Allan Holdsworth-esque chords and developed an ECM jazz rhythm concept for it. We don't have plans to record or shoot video, but the lighting looks like it would come out well if Steve, Roch or Kakki wanted to set up a tripod and film it. Maybe I can get a recording from the audience to my flash recorder. We are using the house PA system so getting a multi-track audio capture like we did for the prior DVD won't be possible. I usually take a ton of sound gear to these shows and I'm sort of looking forward to only having to bring instruments - a mere six guitars!
