SUMMONER'S TALES...
"It's a lovely feeling. You're out in front of 5,000, 10,000 people and everyone's pleased to see you. It's hard to replace that. And it's also hard to express how wonderful that feels. Everything seems amplified by the lights and the occasion. Am I addicted to it? Probably. I don't like staying in a city too long. Tomorrow is somewhere else. Let's move."
