LOL LOL LOL...my wife said the same thing Matt..she was like "Wow......decisions decisions...but what if Im in WPB or London Michelle, when PJ are in NYC ???...sniff sniff.......just shut up already"...lol
If I had to guess,I think its EV in Europe.....I think its certainly too early in the year,to announce a fall tour.......in the past,PJ have announced fall tours in the summer.........example being,I bought my Philly tickets in July 2009,for the Oct 2009 gigs....the spring 2010 gigs went on sale in March 2010,Canada 2011 went on sale in the summer 2011..etc.......but we will see.....
My source (Chris in the U.K) has heard nothing at all...zip...thats strange...
Were those Philly 2009 shows a last minute thing? They kind of stand on their own (a few weeks after the rest of the shows) which makes them seem kind of special.
Listening to the first Irvine 2003 show today. Pretty solid.
I know you think mixes should be over only a small set of shows (I can understand why) but I may need your help making a 2003 one for the ENTIRE two legs (it's just a "starter") like I/we did for 2000. The goal would be to have most of the 1990's tunes in there, some stuff from Binaural, some essential covers and bsides from the tour, and, obviously, every track from Riot Act (plus Down). Also, would want to use as many shows as possible to really get a feel of how vast the tour was. Think you're up for making the list? That's A LOT of shows to choose from!
Well....that wont be too hard...we can just take a handful of gigs from April,early May to start...Raleigh,Charlotte,Champaign,Pitt,Philly,Nassau,Buffalo over State PA.....thats 7 gigs..Atlanta and St Louis as well maybe..so thats 9.....I will put starter list together later on today.....no more than 15 tunes...then look at the June gigs....
I'd say there's about 25 or so "Ed-Man" gigs from 2003. If I do my "usual" four-CD compilation, that's about 70 songs. This means any given gig should have only 2 or 3 songs from it.
