41-date US tour starting May 7

Apparently this is just the 'first leg', and there's the prospect of 'international' touring afterwards (ie, Canada! hah!..yeah, real overseas!!).

Dates and venues will be announced next week.

There's a good chance that the entire band will appear on the Today Show in NY on April 18.

"Good chance"? :s

Only 41 dates, huh? Well, that is between 40 and 60, but I was really hoping for someting closer to 60. But the fact that they're billing it as the "first leg" is very encouraging.

And we get tour dates this week?!

Time to get out those vacation request forms at work!

I'd love that, but I know that I wouldn't be able to go.

Yeah I would definitely consider going to Canada if they went there (I have rellies there and my grandmother is going over this year). But would rather just go to Japan or Oz, obviously!

I only expect a 40 or so city tour so this is no big news. again, there have been times in the past where the tour was supposed to be more but it never worked out...as long as i can see them a few times in the NY area i'm fine. I may just have to trek on down to see the "Today" show thing IF that pans out. again, IF that happens.

Ok, I'm reassured by the fact that they say the first leg of the tour is the 41 cities in the U.S.A.

BUT.....IF......their idea of "WORLDWIDE/INTERNATIONAL" is "U.S.A. and CANADA".......I WILL BE......VERY........VERY............ANGRY!!!

That would be a SICK JOKE on Mick's part, and NOT THAT FUNNY!!!

I am definitely with you on this one Seteca!! I am ever hopeful Mick will stick to his word and tour overseas but I have seen other Stevie and FM tours billed as World tours and they haven't been so....

I just hope they are coming to the Southeast during the summer months!

Maybe they made the US leg only 41 shows on purpose. Im mean if they had made it 60.... there would be less chance they'd go anywhere else (knowing them). They'd be much more tired and just end it there.

And the fact that they mentioned Canada really makes me at ease about adding on more dates and legs to the tour. Canada will probably be the beginning of the second leg, then they'll head off to Europe and the rest of the world (as they promised! or as MICK promised!).

but I just have the feeling that FM will ONCE again skip OKC and/or the state of Oklahoma...Having the new Ford Center could possibly sway an appearance but I'm NOT getting my hopes up just yet, Brian J.

Hey, I'm from OK, but I live in Alaska now.They would never come here. That's why I'm going to see all the cities and choose one to go to.
