Cities That Will Be Played

drew0

Assuming that there is a tour, what does everyone think are some cities that will realistically be included?

My guess is that they are touring, but not a full blown tour. The staples (Philly, Boston, LA) and some cities they missed last time around (Raleigh, Houston, Tampa).

That being said, here is a list that I think is possible.

-Staples & Select Cities
Boston
New York City
Hartford
Philadelphia
Pittsburgh
Toronto/Buffalo
Detroit
Chicago
Alpine Valley
The Gorge
San Francisco
Los Angeles

-The South
Phoenix
Houston
Austin
St. Louis
Raleigh
Charlotte
Atlanta
Tampa
West Palm Beach

That's 20 cities + Bonnaroo. I could see Pittsburgh & Toronto being iffy, but more than likely.

What? No San Francisco Bay Area show on your list? I've heard Eddie comment to the crowds in the Bay Area that Shoreline is one of their most played venues of all time. Definitely gotta consider that as a "staple" city to play. Also, the Bridge Concert is always a high probability event for them to play.

Hey, this is just me speculating and for others to join in. Don't hang me if I didn't think of someone's city.

I could see what you mean about San Diego, BeerBaron. I just figured, maybe given that the 2006 show was supposed to be pretty amazing, they might come back.

I thought with the 3 shows in SanFran last time around you guys had your fair share.

Edit - Food for thought, the South American leg had 12 stops, the Canadian leg 15, and the U.S. 7 in 2005 (a 'non-touring' year). That's 30+ shows in a non-touring year...could we see a repeat of 2005? Say the album comes out January/February of 2009...they do a full blown tour in '09...a repeat of '05/'06?

New York is staple.

So is Chicago, Seattle, & Toronto (usually). I just didn't name all of the staples.

Trust me, I'm not hanging you. The tone of my voice (in my head while writing) is quite civil. The point is, with three shows in San Francisco in '06, the San Francisco Bay Area (and Mountain View is where they play most of the time) is a staple. Heck, Eddie's solo tour has two nights here and one down in Santa Cruz. They love playing here!!!

I am really hoping for a boston2-hartford-saratoga2-NYC2-philly-DC-nc run. I know where I would be for two weeks.

Fair enough. I'm just an elitist New Yorker that felt like being an elitist.

You need to add Jacksonville, FL and Birmingham,AL to that list.

ummm where is Missoula, Montana in this list....they will be here on the next tour.

I just don't get all this speculation? What is the point, besides just being bored?

I dunno about any of this...there have been small rumours, etc. over the past few weeks, but I would have thought we'd have come across some bigger leaks if this was about to go down...here in Toronto, there was a lot of chatter about EV solo'ing here in May (seems to have died down somewhat) - but what the fuck would a radio DJ at the Edge have down that wouldn't have leaked somewhere else by now? Seems weird Kat would have "tweeted" this and not the earlier leg of Ed solo shows? Also seems weird there was no reminder to up your membership...this is driving me crazy.

Jacksonville has actually been getting more bigger bands lately- it's the biggest city in FL that PJ hasn't been to

I really hope they play Toronto causei have family over there so i will travel over to see the band from Scotland tho i may travel to Florida if they play Tampa.

I think this is the biggest clue to there NOT being a tour. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't they usually tell you to have your 10c renewed whenever they're tweeked a tour before?

I am pretty sure that DC will be played if there is a tour, especially in an election year.

mca47

If they do tour, I'd imagine it would be a less-than-10 show tour. I really hope they play Phoenix!

Oh...


AND ALPINE!!!!!!

ozcharlie

they should play a few shows up in Alaska, that would be cool.

You maybe can add Denver and Minneapolis/St. Paul to that list since they have the dem and rep national conventions.
