So what is the story behind this "hidden" text on the new 30TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION?

I haven't gone anywhere, except in my pants from time to time and once in the toilet.

Look on the inside right edge of the back insert behind the CDs.

took me awhile to find this before you posted the solution - do I get a prize?
Steve B. left DA before the second album came out. If you look at the paragraph giving thanks on Shotgun Angel you'll see "Where's Steve?" at the end.
I assume this was because he was familiar to the first generation of fans. If anyone appeared to be having a good time on stage it was always Steve... because he always was. He's the original party animal good time Charlie. Now it may be that on subsequent albums the "... still looking" was added. Perhaps someone can find that.
Rumor has it Steve was not always where he was expected to be for DA events, e.g. their audition at Maranatha. That may have contributed to the development of this piece in the DA lore.
Steve is a very loveable guy, just not the most organized. I lived with him for at least a year. We were the classic odd couple. Steve's stuff resided where it landed. Mine had a place, etc. His favorite term for me was"weird" which was probably a polite way to suggest I was an*l.
So where IS Steve?

Yeah thats a running joke in many DA albums. And yeah I think its in part do to his not showing up for things like the audition. Thats what we heard.
