Hopefully this is just musician's fatigue or their hearts aren't in it anymore or something of that ilk and not a more serious problem.

With an OM tour next year, maybe they're concentrating on those

Still need to catch High On Fire now that I've seen OM and Sleep (twice) in the past year or two, so hope Matt Pike is still game for touring. Still annoyed they didn't play Dopesmoker this time though, they had 20 minutes before sound curfew so no idea why they didn't.

Because the song is longer than 20 minutes

But they play a 15-20 minute abridged version; I know because they closed with it the last time I saw them

I'd much rather that reason compared to say, a serious illness or personal matters involving family members.

Haha, This is just a joke that they are playing, staying true to their name, I suppose.
