Will it be a career-spanning set? It's going to be stuff from all the various eras of the band, the old '70s era, where we established ourselves and defined ourselves, and the later era where we spread out and had all these hit singles. We're very fortunate that we have a lot of songs that persons like. But it makes it hard when we pick the set list. There are certain songs that need to be in there no matter what -- "Dream On," "Sweet Emotion," and those sorts of songs. But there's a whole variety of deeper album cuts that we'd also like to play from the '70s and the later years. Are there songs that you're more excited about playing this time around? I like playing "Seasons of Wither" from our second album and a "Permanent Vacation" album track called "Hangman Jury," along with "Eat the Rich" and "Big Ten Inch Record." It's funny, you think you wanna change it. But over time moments will happen onstage -- cool little things will happen at the next gig and the gig after, and you think, "Wow, those are cool things to leave in the set," whether it's a song combination or a little moment that takes place that you decide to make part of the show. picturemediaget here.

On the previous album I brought in a demo of a song idea, which was a complete arrangement for a song, and the intro of the song was the same set of chord changes as the intro to "Janie's Got a Gun." The thing I put together didn't get anywhere, but when we did the "Pump" album, one day Steven came in to the rehearsal studio and played "Janie's Got a Gun" commence to finish. Everybody had their jaws open, 'cause it's amazing when he comes in with a song completely finished. I'm listening to it, and going, "Boy, that looks familiar awfully." I knew at that moment that he had been playing the chord changes from that song I had brought in. He went in and kept using that motif and wrote the whole song.
