Chart burning (with rock and roll) aside, it'll bever be
re-established in the old mold even if Miranda and (insert new drummer's name
here...or at least the name of a drummer who sticks around for more than tour
obligation purposes) go "hi, don and eric. let's jam and find our sound."  One
of the things that contributed to the "classic" sound is born out of the
"bandhouse"/SFG jamming telepathy methinks.
Sadly, I don't get the sense that the weight of the band's past catalog will let
them go far afield from what's comfortable, except for the inclusion of Allen's
jamming in Last Days of May and the drum/bass solo in Godzilla.

I don't know if eric is capable of evil freaking without lyrics referring to a
biker/convict/stranger out for revenge.
