On With the Show Rehearsals

[jbrownsjr]

These begin this month, no? Any news? Where are they rehearsing? My guess would be Los Angeles.

I think I read they were due to start this month but I'm not sure whether that was official.
With Micks event on Maui earlier this month I'd say rehearsals wouldn't have been taking place in the first half of July but they could be happening now/soon. I wonder if Christine is back in the States now. Still more than two months until On With The Show- I wonder if they'll fit in some recording with Stevie. The official website is c**p- we really need some updates.

In one of Christine's last interviews before she left for the U.K. in May, she mentioned that she would be back in the U.S. at the end of July. That would be next week. I think she also said that rehearsals would be in August.

August is correct. Early August.

Wow, August? Does this seem really late to anyone? I guess they just have to add Chris' songs into the setlist but still...

seems really early to me, actually.

they have almost 2 months to rehearse all the same songs they've been doing last year plus add a few Chris songs they've been doing for 20-30 years in the past. seems like a huge overkill and waste of time, but we know how rehearsal-crazy this group of people appears to be.

More than just that-- they still have to rehearse, with Christine, all the staple songs they always do, as well as reacquaint themselves to songs they haven't performed in decades, and hopefully, some songs they've never performed.

I'll be seeing them in November. I hope they come up with a fresh set list and don't fall into the same old same old, and open with The Chain, followed by Dreams.
