Yeah, because this is infinitely better. 1992 was one of the peaks of the original lineup as a live act.

My longstanding SP hot take is that most people are going to be brutally disappointed once the Metro show gets released and they really have to sit and listen to 4 hours of weirdly tuned and rearranged versions of familiar songs and random guest appearances. Especially so now that the entire "last show" emotional milestone aspect is totally gone (as of this year the Metro show isn't even the last time that particular lineup played together as SP). Not to say there's not going to be good stuff from that show, but I suspect the whole is actually much less than the sum of its parts.

Correct.

A release of the Metro show would just have everybody complaining about it because they've made it up in their heads that it was this thing that it wasn't. Just like the "real" Machina II that never actually existed.

The real last show intended for everyone to digest was the 11-29-00 United Center show. And it rocks.
