Alternative History Options

Say... what if, in a world far more intelligent and just that ours... TDTH was received as it deserved - tens of millions of albums flowing off the shelves. It's one of the greatest artistic achievements of mankind, and it simply didn't get the reception it deserved.

What if it was even just as big as TC, say? Maybe it contained some of the rockers instead, or maybe it was exactly the same but people just appreciated it more? I wonder how that would affect the history of Live? Maybe V and BOP etc would never have happened, and they would have continued in the TDTH vein? And never broken up?

It's one of the few things I feel sorry for Ed about. Even Chad Taylor said that TDTH was Ed at his absolute very best. He was a genius at the pinnacle of his artistic expression. And it didn't even hit number one on the fucking charts. I can imagine that was a little heart breaking.

What do you think?

I do recall Dolphins Cry being number one for like a month on one of Toronto's biggest radio station countdowns.
