Honestly, would it have made a difference?

Actually, I think capes and Seventies rock go together well.
I was talking to Rich Williams from Kansas one time, and he was talking about Spinal Tap-type things they have done on stage, and he told me about a technical problem during a song called "Lightning's Hand" that was supposed to look like a huge bolt of lightning when Robbie sang, "I command the lightning's hand!" And instead it misfired and looked like a little sparkler in his hand. And then he paused, and he said, "And he was also wearing a cape at the time." That just cracked me up!
Another cape story: I interviewed Rick Wakeman, and here again we were talking about Tap-esque things that happen, and he told me the famous story about how he got so bored on stage during 'Tales From Topographic Oceans' that he had his roadie go get him a currie and he ate it on stage while they were playing. And I asked him, "Were you wearing a cape at the time?" And he said, "Oh, of course!" And we both just completely lost it laughing at that.
For the record, I think Dennis could have pulled of the cape look!
