Was at the filmed Forum show. The Tusk tour is still tops for me though really the end of an era.

They really burned out on the Tusk tour... Mirage was an encore performance...

By the time that line up got to the Dance.. it became watered down.. and cokeless...

Love in Store
That's Alright - acoustic version
Hold Me
Straight back
Empire State - the alternative version is so amazing
Eyes of the World
Only Over You
Wish you were here (maybe instead of Songbird)
Gypsy - throw it in for good measure
GREAT idea! If they weren't so splintered, they could have set up a tour behind the re-release. maybe 3 months at most.
Wish You Were Here is a great, dramatic love lost song.

Very true. And they're too old now to go back to the coke. It would probably kill them now.

But if it gave us a fantastic album.....

I mean, they're almost at the jumping off point, anyway!
(that last line is a JOKE)

It would be a great promo for Mirage and I bet most band members would love to do a 25 city short tour to promote the album and play some of these gems live.
I expect the final world tour will feature some Mirage but I want LOTS of Mirage!!!!

with all the new stuff they are working on and want to play for people, i doubt Lindsey and Christine want to go completely backwards and heavily promote songs that they released in 1982. i do think they itch to go out, but with their new music!

Sadly, most audience members will just want them to go backwards another five years instead.

just another reason for them to do a small venue tour to play new songs live before starting yet another all 5 greatest hits tour!

If the price of a ticket didn't murder my wallet, I would definitely go if they toured for the Mirage reissue.
