“I’m trying to see if why you can’t play the three thousand seater for three nights, or mix it up, where you play a variety of venues of all sizes. I think that’s a little bit hipper than just going to the big rooms because that way you stay interested, the audience gets to see you up close. I can have as much fun playing a bar as a coliseum, it doesn’t really make that much difference. But where we’re at right now, we have to play a couple of them to pay for playing all the others.” - TP, Hit Parader, June 1980
