By the end of 1998, the band had prepared a concept album called The Sun, The Storm and The Traveler , based on Aesop’s fable of The North Wind and the Sun , and they planned to record it after a recess in the fall of 1999. That summer, John Popper had emergency heart surgery due to artery blockage, forcing the band to cancel their annual July 4 Red Rocks shows at the last minute.
