Reply To: Evolution of Dave

nah man I agree that “Joker grin” I first really remember noticing back in 1996 with the aborted reunion. He was on the old Stern show that E! broadcast and he just had that grin with the veins in his neck popping out to keep in place. It was weird. But then as years went on I noticed he never lost it. It’s true back in the day he “prowled” the stage (for lack of better word. Now he’s sliding on mats etc. And I get it, he’s older, he has apparently a lotta back problems. I’m not expecting him to jump off the riser anymore. But this weird “dance like no one’s watching” shimmying on stage stuff is bizarre.

I did notice some clips from Red Rocks other night I guess cause of rain they had to leave Dave’s mat off the stage and suddenly Ed was leaving his “oat” on the side. If that’s been the reason for Ed not moving around more on stage I say get rid of that slipping mat for good. Dave doesn’t need it. Just like he didn’t need that drive-thru mic he tried out in 2012 before chucking it.
