Yeah, I tend to agree. Their hearts (Jaz's especially  ) did not seem to be in it in Boston. But I put most of the blame 
on fascist US "radio", that is more corporate controlled, and less independent than ever. THey only play the same
20 or "alternative" songs over and over, and only brand new stuff, w/o touching anything outside of the money-making
mainstream. Even in the 90s they were much better.
