Great idea! Bad timing.
They were lock-step with their set list on their world tour; The Tusk deluxe project was of no concern. Even if it was, it would have taken a lot of prep work to pull off. They had little to do with the project anyway. I'm aware some artists have done it - performed an album in it's entirety and and released it as a novelty. It's feasible concept unto itself, but not within this particular re-release.
I'm glad the Tusk deluxe was solely focused on that particular period of time. The assembled live discs fit the bill.
That's enough for me! The entire box is a bit redundant as it is.
