I think the ideal 5th SY member was Jim O'Rourke (both studio and live). I don't have nothing against Mark... seems a really nice guy and a good bass player, but SY's live era with O'Rourke was much better, in my opinion. And, frankly, i can't dig too much the double-bass thing.
But yeah, you're right PAULYBEE2656, i had the same feeling about O'Rourke not being totally into the band. In a kind of way Mark fits better in the band than O'Rourke.
