it's just a handful of shows, on a tour with other "normal" shows. i am excited for it. an interesting idea to try a few times, not a good idea to start doing a whole lot, or they would become a cartoon of themselves. i'm hoping they really streatch out and jam some of those songs, like when i saw 'em do an epic teenage riot for a set closer last fall in LA. the new DDN book makes a point of saying that sections of the songs were improvised, and on "destroyed room" they make a point of wanting to showcase their looser instumental side; so they could potentially take all their improv knowledge/skills gained in the last 20 years to reinterpret their old classic in an even-more-mindblowing fashion...
