Agreed... but listening to recent gigs - I think it was Rob's Astoria Saturday
recording - he is putting lots of exquisite little extra touches in the old songs,
I think I noticed it in Wardance particularly, a sweet smattering of 
mini-flourishes, but have you to listen hard to catch them. Maybe that's
how he gets his kicks - and stops himself from going mad, playing a 24-year old
song exactly the same every single time.
