Obviously they had time restraints and DT wouldn't be allowed to perform a 10 minute song. It's TV. But DT has plenty of 5 minute tracks. Unless they would only allow them to play a recording in the background, I don't see why DT shouldn't have done it. It would have been a great opportunity to reach out to fans. I find the whole thing very odd. So, why was so bad about a "musical compromise" guys? ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 31 Aug 2002 23:13:37 -0400 From: "D C" To: Subject: NY State Fair Message-ID: I saw somebody in line at the Dinosaur BBQ hut this afternoon wearing a World Tourbulence shirt.

I think the miming thing sounds like it's the most likely. Of course the tv station is gonna want them to play something softer, not TGP or some such track :P But DT have plenty of songs that they could play on tv, and they play them live in their own concerts, so I don't see how playing something like The Silent Man would be musically compromising, unless they were asked to mime. Personally, I reckon they wouldn't know what to do with themselves :P Niall ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 01 Sep 2002 08:26:50 -0500 From: Michael & Pamela Nazer To: Subject: Re: CBS Morning Show Message-ID: on 8/31/02 2:17 PM, email_address_removed at email_address_removed wrote: > Why doesn't Mike say what CBS wanted them to do?

I have watched the morning show for the past two weeks. a week ago it was Bruce Hornsby sitting in the studio playing piano with no other musicians. Yesterday it was two unplugged guitarists, sitting outside. I have not seen a band type situation on there yet. There also has not been a audience for either performance. I assume this because you can hear only a few people clapping. I am very disapointed about this being canceled, however....the last thing I want DT to do is to compromise their high standards.

DT *has* played like this, but only for their fans, to do this on their sole appearance on national TV would definately convey an image that DT is something they arent, so im guessing thats why they declined to appear... ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 1 Sep 2002 11:52:49 -0400 (EDT) From: Craig Maloney To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: Top Ten reasons why DT isn't on the CBS Morning Show Message-ID: Top Ten reasons why DT isn't on the CBS Morning Show 10.
