Wondering if the situation with Gord's wife may have limited rehearsal opportunities. Filtering through a massive catalogue on a continual basis takes practice and rehearsal, doesn't matter what band.

Exactly what I was thinking. The 09 tour was a solid effort by the band to perform both hits and to embrace some far corners of their awesome catalog but that certainly takes time and a fair amount of effort by the entire band. GD really looks spent emotionally from his personal ordeal. Setlists and other band related activity are far down the priority list when dealing with those things. On the other hand re-learning older material with the band is probably a bit therapeutic. Probably less than 50/50 in my opinion as to whether we'll see sets like we used to...fingers are crossed. As always we're not asking for Another Midnight or Train Overnight etc... but 50 MC or Three Pistols would be nice...etc
