@PennPhan I guess for the same reason that they would lock on to amazing moments in jams, especially 93-95 era, that you would want to go on forever and then usually Trey will deconstruct right out of it after a few seconds. For the same reason they played Wingsuit on 10/31 instead of Eat a Peach. Even in the same spirit they played Dark Side to an empty room three days after Halloween. Once a pattern is established, they like to demolish it. Forcing themselves to continue anew and thrive.

I guess it's a fine point, but think 'mindfuck' instead of 'fuck you' to the audience and that's more what I'm trying to say. Playfully evil. Like a satyr or something, I don't know.
