That they couldn't manage to time their tour with the re-release of a 32-year old album speaks volumes to the incompetence of their management. Plus the band members have their tentative heads up their asses. Essentially, their marketing skills suck big time -- old school, with no relavance to the current market/technologies. But that's no surprise; they've been consistant in that regard. So many missed opportunities.

Great points....and no I don't want to pay $250.00 for only Rumours stuff.....we should get all the outtakes etc....from all the lps from the Rumours line up....plus videos/outtakes picture book...of course I"m in dream land......cause your so right about there marketing skills....heck Fmac/Stevie can't even put up half way decent web sites and 'current' & relevant too. They should be marketing there butts off esp with all they can do on the Net these days....so yes it is there loss and no one else's well expect for us 'Fans' though.......stupid.....I agree.....total missed opportunities....get your head out of the '70's.....its 2009.......stupid........
