I have to agree with Becky on the bootlegs, webcasts and video clips . Part of me really likes watching and hearing all this stuff, but a part of me would rather avoid it during a tour because somehow it seems to make it all less special.
With that said, BJ is still the most fun band ever for me to see live. Songs like Prayer and Wanted never get old to me and while there are times I think why don't they toss that and put in this because well I' would like to hear and see this song I haven't in 10 or 15 years, all I have to do is look around at a show and I realize that while I have seen the band many many times and do multiple shows every tour, most of the audience with me on any given night has not.
Bj does tend to play it safe on the road, although I have seen a bit more change up in order and songs on this tour than I have in a long while.
I do think it's very possible to outgrow a band. By that I mean you can connect with a band completely for a very long time but at some point you and your life go in one direction and the band goes in another. Two bands that come to mind for me are U2 and Journey.
