He had to record many keyboard parts using the same arm he double tracked them. Hot Seat was not a great album, because Keith had is unfortunate problems in his arm and hand during the making of that album. We did a lot of that album on the 92 and 93 tours. We thought Black Moon was a good album, too. Are you and the lads too grim about "Love Beach" ever to play us "Canario" in concert? Are you too bummed about ".Hot Seat" ever to play us "Hand of Truth" or "One By One"? Or, hell, if a song didn't work right on an album, knock it around in concert and give a new rendition of it! (While I'm pummeling you, here's another request: "Hallowed Be Thy Name" on just piano, bass, and drums! It could very well re-define cool.) And I know I'm never gonna hear anything off of ".Hot Seat." Herein lies my question: Do you guys view things on an "album-wide" scope? What I mean is, even if an album doesn't work, there's always something excellent on it, but that stuff never seems to make it to the stage.

Not that I dislike it, but I'd like to hear "Footprints in the Snow," for cryin' out loud! I'd like to hear "Changing States" as opposed to "Fanfare for the Common Man" again.

And, though I still listen to the old stuff, I thought I should let you know that my favorite album is "Black Moon." But every time I see you guys live I just get "Knife-Edge" again. I've been with you guys since your "heyday" (as they call it).
