I suppose Cincinnati and St. Louis is "doable"... If you are coming from the East, the Tulsa/Lincoln combo makes next to no sense.. I don't know what you'd pair with Memphis...I drove home from Chicago last summer (which is not that far from Moline) and could have gone through Detroit. Moline would have paired up relatively nicely with Milwaukee (maybe) but St. Paul got jammed in between the two shows....Denver might be the most interesting place of the bunch to visit but is nowhere near anything else...
This tour is indeed made for hometown folk in the Midwest.
I know I should be rooting for the Canadiens since I am Canadian but I have Rangers players in my pool and my biggest opponent has Canadiens players. I ask this: How is game #3 tied? I watched the 1st period and it was all Rangers!
Apparently it would be sort of good to live in Iowa this fall (and be a fan of Pearl Jam, of course). They aren't actually playing in Iowa but a playing in five of the six States that border on it!
Matt as Im sure most will agree, the 'tour" makes no sense. They toured the album in Oct - Nov 2013 when it was released...then that was it..half a year later they will tour in Europe , then a full year later they will do another mini-me tour of the States.
Why even bother , the LP has died now and is forgotten, by the fall only the diehards will remember LB.......they should have obviously toured hard in the winter ...but I guess they figure F that we dont have to ...weird IMO .
