    Um, didn't they say they were taking a break this year at the end of last year's tour, people?

    They also said we'll see you again next year after almost every show.
    No way they said that at any show.

    They said it at almost every show.

    That they'd be back for another show the next year? I've never heard that. Eddie says stuff like "hopefully we'll be back soon" or something like that, but I have trouble believing he said "We'll be back next year" at nearly every show. I certainly have never heard that on any of the bootlegs. I'm not saying it definitely didn't happen... I've just never heard it, and since it's obviously a complete and utter lie, would be surprised if Eddie said it.

    I've heard him say see you next year or something close to it at multiple shows I've been to, as well as on bootlegs

    I must be experiencing some kind of memory loss or something then.

    Well they didn't say it at the shows you attended but yes, he says it quite often at the end of shows.

    Possibly more so in 2013 than 2014

    Well if that's what he's saying, he should stop, since it's not at all true.

    I think he often says something like "see you next time" or "until next time". I agree that it's very rare to never that he is specific about hinting at any future tour plans.

    No one is saying that is literal as In "we will be back in 12 months" but, if you listen to bootlegs over the years, as much as I have youll know it is said quite often. No argument here just pointing out it is said fairly often.

    Yeah, that's my impression too. I have heard a lot of boots, and don't recall ever hearing that he actually said "see you next year" when nothing was being arranged. Just something about coming back in general. He says that stuff all the time.

    He definitely said "see ya next year" at a few of the shows I saw in the last few years. I know he jokes with Jeff on the OKC bootleg about playing there the next year. This has been talked about before, he says it more than he should and all he fans get in a frenzy about another tour in a year and stuff.

    He clearly says see you next year in a few

    I think we have to find the silver lining here friends...at least they are still out there touring..,most bands would have hung it up by now..they definitley have some chelly in there....just my two cents.

    Why worry about the long wait when we have previous studio albums and official Boots to tide us over?

    All in good time, my friends...

    I love going to shows as much as the next guy, but I don't see the downtime as such a bad thing. It allows them to pursue other interests, and recharge the batteries. We're able to save some cash, or put it elsewhere. '13 and '14 were great... I don't mind taking a year off.

    Im throwing in the towel..no inside information like most here. Maybe a west coast show before Global Citizens but I don't expect much more this late with no venue hold leaks. Ill gear up for 15-20 shows based around PJ 25 in 2016. I will try to resist buying the merch in the mean time to hopefully encourage more touring but I realize I wont make a dent. Bright side is more money for beach vacation. Cheers
