Joan IV Folks, I am sorry but I can not get our guests back

difficulties between New York City and America Online

RJScott V I'm on the phone with David now.
RJScott V David asked me to type for him.
Question Why didn't you play old songs at the Philly Show and
why do you still use recorded tracks
Question in live performances?
RJScott V Trying to get an answer. Again, our apologies.
RJScott V Marting speaking:
RJScott V We did play some of the old songs.
RJScott V But the old songs really don't fit in with the new
ones. Those we played were updated
RJScott V versions. The old songs were updated to suit the feel
of the new ones.
RJScott V The answer to part two: Not everything is on tape. We
try to play as
RJScott V much live as possible.
RJScott V Next, from Raptus, this question:
Question How is this new tour going to differ from the
VIOLATOR tour?? Who's opening up?
RJScott V Answering is Alan:
RJScott V Well we HAVE Depeche Mode back!
RJScott V Welcome!
Joan IV YEAH!
Joan IV Welcome!
Joan IV Oh, no there they go again.
RJScott V Margaret is answering:
RJScott V It's different in quite a lot of ways. More
instruments used. I'm on drums.
RJScott V We are using a lot of Antoine Corbin fill.
RJScott V That's a large part of the show.
RJScott V It's more of an overall concept than we ever had
before.
RJScott V Antoine is taking more of a visual control of the
whole thing.
