The mindset of the people who put the shows on and those who go buy a ticket is so fundamentally different. The band themselves don't have a sense of things, and I found this out after a lot of years of pain and frustration.
Dick LatvalaI want everyone to be able to have the same experience through the music as me. It's important to get it out.
Dick LatvalaI'm swamped with input. I want input, but I am so far behind on what I got here that I can't keep up with what people are sending me.
Dick LatvalaI don't have an agenda. I don't have things I want to get to or something. I have like a broad, slim grasp of certain periods and certain shows within that period, an awareness of them, but they demand re-listening. I have a flimsy grasp of all the eras and ideas within each period of what would be a good show to think of.
