They played MiM in 2004, actually.
As someone whose gone to a lot of shows, let me give a little advice: bands that were good/great 30-40 years ago but haven't had any success in the last 25 years, usually really really suck now for a variety of reasons.
1) There's usually one living member of the actual band
2) The band is touring again because they suck and the only way they can make money as musicians is in the hopes that people will come see them based on their past greatness.
3) These bands feel obliged to regale you with their "new" music, which invariably sucks. Remember, they haven't been successful in 25 years.
So, just remember: Friends don't let friends go see washed-up, over-the-hill bands (unless they're the Grateful Dead
)
