In Your Dreams - Tour - Page 2

what Sourcerer99 says makes sense.... the Heart & Soul tour is pretty limited in scope and length and ends before the new album is even released. And before the summer (heavy concert action) begins. I think this tour is just a warm up for a summer run --- and hopefully she'll be touring w/ DAVE Stewart after the first tour.

Not only is it a warm up, but by teaming with Rod on this limited run - it just amplified the word of her new album, single etc. and she got WAY more press leading up to the release rather then if she just went out on her own limited run before the release.... I think it was genius! This was an explosion in the media and pretty much everything printed about the tour mentioned the Stevie's new album...

God, I gag at the thought of the Rod fans I am going to encounter. When Stevie does a double bill there are usually more Stevie fans in the audience (Henley, Issac), but this time its the reverse for sure.

i think this is just to gen some buzz
she'll have a month or 2 off after Rod
and then do some summer dates to prop her record
of course those FEW dates will include Euro & Australia

*prays to the Gypsy gods*

Whether or not this tour will help with sales, only time will tell. Clearly though, they feel the new material is worth the effort, which speaks highly of the music that's on there. But there's no way she's not touring for IYD. My guess is she'll hit the road on her own sometime around June.

You took the words right put of my mouth! Iam going to go and see both tours I am! I'm so excited and happy to see this type of promotion.

Is he really that big? I can barely name four songs by him - the ones mentioned on Ellen, "Tonight's the Night," and that song he did for the Three Musketeers soundtrack with Bryan Adams and Sting.

Yeah he plays the big arenas by himself all the time - so he's a pretty big draw. I saw him @ Philips Arena in Atlanta in 2004, and it was sold out.

I see. Looks like we'll have a lot of competition for tickets.

I like Rod, just don't want to see him live. Does anyone have any feedback on how Rod fans feel about Stevie?

They're both classic rockers of a certain age. My guess would be that there is a lot of overlap in the casual audiences that would go to a Stevie show and a Rod Stewart show.
