Tour date estimations?

greatdarkwing · #1 12-27-2003, 05:45 PM

Hey everyone....

I was checking out Pollstar, and a big number of acts have already announced dates into May/June...with that in mind, when do you think we will get the dates from FM?

I don't know, but let's cross our fingers that they are even going to be touring this summer. God, I hope so!

They are touring this summer. They've confirmed this several times.

It's highly unlikely that they'll play Red Rocks. The reason being is that Red Rocks seats 9000 while it's ugly stepsister, Fiddler's Green Amphitheater seats twice that many.
The front rows at Red Rocks are general admission.

I'm sorry, I'm out of it today... what does this mean general admission, like is it cheap?

It means that there is no reserved seating for the front rows at Red Rocks. It's first come, first served.

Lets face it, Lindsey's wife is due in April. Do you think she's gonna let Lindsey go on the road from May to October and leave her home with 3 Kids (and a couple of nannies)?

I'm beginning to get skeptical about a tour next summer.

They should just get right back in the studio and do a new Mac album right away.

That makes sense. I agree, pwyll.

Plus, for some reason... it's beginning to look like the "Tusk" tour. You know, they toured for over a year and all that. I highly doubt that they would want to do a repeat of that.

A 2004 tour doesn't have to run from May to October.
They could easily just tour from June to late August/early September, and hit quite a number of places in the US. They've already done two legs in the states this past year, so the pressure to hit as many venues as possible would be far less.

But I'm all for a new studio album, ASAP... whether it be a Stevie solo, or a new Mac.
At this point though, I'm leaning towards the Stevie disc, since it usually takes the Mac twice (or three times) as long to release something.

As I said before, Stevie could very easily record and release a new album while the guys are taking some time off (it's been done many times before!).
But I'd rather see her skip touring this time out, and go right back into the studio with FM, so we can get some material that she and Lindsey have worked on together from the "ground up."

Omigod!...............

You took the words out of my mouth! I hope I'm wrong, but...

This is his job so IMO, I think she probably understands that...if not, she should. Plus that, I highly doubt she's going to tell Lindsey he can't do something (i have a feeling that would be a cold day in hell). If she doesn't pop up at the first few shows of that particular leg, she'll be at the rest of them...nannies included...I don't doubt it. Having two young children who are of age to be in school hasn't stopped her from touring N. America and Europe with them so why should a baby stop her? Nope..they'll have some nannies.
