Question
One question, and one comment:

First, do you (or anyone else for that matter) know why DMB almost never performs "Say Goodbye" live? It is only on one of the live albums, and has not been played in a show in the last 2 years.

Second, for "Two Step" meaning, it is an allusion to Noah's Ark. The animals walked "two by two" up onto the ark so that the world could continue after the flood. Just as the lovers in this song walk two by two to secure their own future. Yes, your answer did mention biblical references, but I figured I would highlight the exact referece.

Thanks.

Answer
Any one with a brain could figure out it's an allusion to Noah's Arc, I didn't say it because it doesn't need to be said, it's a 'duh' sort of thing. As for Say Goodbye, no clue, Dave just doesn't play certin songs, like Dreaming Tree, and just recently did he start playing Song that Jane Likes more at concerts, he probably plays it at concerts occasionally, just not on ones he releases, the band has a lot of songs, they can't play them all.
