Right... see, you get it now. That's your OPINION.
As opposed to posting that the band 'got the message' that it didn't work and therefore changed their plans. Sitting in Reading, England having not attended the show does not qualify you to make declarative statements as to what or why the band does what they do now, does it?
Read all you like. Until you sit at an acoustic/electric show, my OPINION is that your opinion is not holding much water.
