I'd be too. But the Deleos insist on touring on the hits that Scott wrote. They're not out there touring an EP, they're playing a greatest hits tour AGAIN. I'm not arguing Scott should be out performing or writing a new album with the Deleos as they seemed uninspired the past year or so. My stance is they should take time off, recharge batteries and come back inspired.
While the definition of a "greatest hits" set might be elusive, as different people might define it differently, I am not sure the DeLeos are performing a greatest hits set right now, at least in the strictest sense.
Of the four songs that charted from
Core, they are playing two. Of the five singles that charted on
Purple, they are playing three. Of the five singles that charted from
Tiny Music...Songs From The Vatican Gift Shop, they're playing two. Of the four singles that charted from
No. 4, they are playing two. Of the two singles that charted from
Shangri-la Dee Da, they are playing one. Of the one single that charted from
Thank You, they're playing zero. Of the three singles that charted from
Stone Temple Pilots, they're playing zero.
That's 10 songs plus Out of Time, which is new, so I don't count that as a "greatest hit," even if it performing well at rock radio. So just over 60% of the set is "greatest hits," which isn't bad, considering they aren't playing Between the Lines and one of the songs is a new song.
I've seen you say a few times now that they're playing the songs that "Scott wrote." It bothers me a bit. Have you been in a band or a songwriting partnership? Are you well versed in the complex chordings and structures that Rob and Dean write and play for the instrumental portions of the songs? Did you know Robert wrote the main melody for Interstate Love Song? You realize that the music came first, right?
