Also, what appears to be a 'new' band bio under an identical video posted on the same channel:

Our lead singer had a ridiculous Five Year Plan which went horribly wrong.

... in the current era of reduced band shelf-life?

A band can mean a lot. We like to mean a lot. It's not been easy.

What do you think the secret of your continued success is?

1. We have many great songs.

2. We know about rock music.

3. We like rock music.

4. We have f**ked every opinion-forming member of your family.

5. We rock.

At your first gig in York in 1981, did any part of you think that you might still be in the business thirty years time?

At our first gig in York, we were amazed to find ourselves still in the business after thirty minutes. We're more confident now. We have taught ourselves some stuff, and we have walked it like we talked it. It's not been easy.

The link actually does go to the XXX shows. You have to click on to reach a vid with acoustically x repetitions of TOL excerpts and a sparse text which has been somewat elaborated above... apparently those who prepared the 2011 input did this one as well ... could have taken some more effort of leave it, if you want my opinion.
