I also thought it would end up as you described. Glad they went with such a free and ambitious path.
I think the fact they played Omission 3 times, the most of any song, says something. They literally put it together at last minute and definitely seemed to enjoy playing it. I have a feeling it'll stop being a Hookah Brown song and will be a Magpie one eventually. The European press has stated they'll be playing originals in London, so we'll see what pans out and if they can get quality material together in a short amount of time.
Marc has tour dates in Europe for late May, so late summer might be possible if everyone else is clear. One of the band techs may have confirmed they at least plan to tour more.
You're correct that Steve was asked to be in the band, but couldn't due to his other commitments. I wouldn't be shocked if he shows up if they tour Nashville,if not to play, to watch. Audley told someone he'll definitely be there if they come to Nashville.
