Chris Nicks: The New Tour Books
 

Chris Nicks was in his RV working fastidiously on the new tour book yesterday before the show. :wavey:




"....Well I tried and I came bearing gifts. I guess I should not try again, huh?..." :shrug:

Hmm...good to know there's gonna be a tour book; not as good to know who's behind it, but hopefully it'll be a good one! Thanks for the heads-up!

Hopefully it's out before the end of the tour...I feel like we waited forever for the SYW tourbook too

Well maybe Chris can surprise us this tour and be something good...just like everything else on this tour has seemed surreal :)

If John Kinney is, in fact, the guy taking all of the photography for it, i'm keeping the faith--he's generally pretty decent.

I talked to Chris after the Detroit Stevie/Don show and he said that every time he gets the tour book almost done, they give him more pictures to add. :rolleyes:

I'm loath to give Kinney props for anything, but I must say the photos he took of Stevie in 1981, 1982 & 1983 (all on his Web site) are fantastic shots. He took that one of Stevie in the cowboy hat (Dallas 9.05.83), among others.

But why do these tourbooks keep arriving so late -- well into the tour or even after it? That's a ridiculous situation that has no good excuse, occurring as it does time after time.

So that fans who attended the first two shows of the tour can pay a colossal price for them later on eBay, of course. :rolleyes:

That's what I was thinking also :0((( That was the first thing I looked for Friday night and even went out of my way to ask about them........ he had better get those things rolling--I mean the tour is just about half over right?? Unless she adds some more dates........ and there wasn't really a reason not to have them at the Don Henley shows since all of their merchandise was separate anyways......not even one Don and Stevie shirt either (for the Henley shows...)--now THAT I was disappointed about!! They needed to have a special shirt for the "2 voices" shows--come on people!!! That I would have bought in a hearbeat!! :distress:

I hear ya on that one!!! SIGH!!

LORD HAVE MERCY.

With what ? A tub of paste and a pair of blunt nosed scissors ?

That would require effort. I imagine he's just ripping the photos to fit the desired space and licking the backs to make 'em stick. He'll add the text later on with his super duper Photoshop '95 software.

You forgot the circa 1990 version of paintshop :wavey: ;)

You guys, I have a feeling from the tone of the email John sent me re: tour books that he might make them available on nicksfix to people who went to shows and did not get them. (edit: could not get them because they weren't available.) This does not include the Vegas shows. Those people only get "ugly" tshirts.

Oooo--I hope so :)
