I hope new songs will be played in Chicago

Vedd Hedd

I would hate to "miss the boat" on the new songs. That is, I would hate it if it was just two shows, then they release the album, then the new songs are played on the "regular" tour.

nah, a new song or two will probably be played at all the shows recently announced.

We'll all know once the Euro shows start, see if some new songs get road tetsted

I hope they do, for both Toronto and Chicago! But I have serious doubts for them to do it. I remember their 2005 Canadian tour and if my memory's good, they didn't play a single "new" song. I think it was only their show in Atlantic City or Philly where they played a new song; Gone.

Why wouldn't they? It's a tour to support their new album.

Sorry dude, but nothing in that matter was mentioned! They could basically play everything from their past albums and bsides.

Besides every interview that has said when the album is coming out.

You really think they're gonna do this tour, turn around next year(when Ed said they're not touring) and do a full album supporting tour, then again in 2011 another huge tour for their 20th anniversary, in this economy?

There are still quite a few shows to announce.

The fact that there isn't a release date doesn't really matter, these days and the boys have expressed interest in using the internet for release, in the past.

I'm hoping they do play a few songs from the new album.

Just going back to those old school day's; listening to those Brixton '93 tapes, Pearl Jam playing tons of new songs nobody has heard off .. from the forth coming record that would could out many months later, October it was!

It will happen!

It could totally happen!!! I'll give you a lame example: No Doubt! They haven't released anything in years but tickets are selling like crazy. Actually, the "show" business seem to do pretty good if you look at the figures and the several articles written about the subject. And like I mentionned before, the band did it in the past, why not again? They played in 2007, they toured in 2008... any new songs??? Nope!

Also, if you could give the link where Eddie says they won't tour next year? I honestly haven't heard about it (it would be a bummer if it was the case!).

They used to road test songs all the time ... don't think they've done that since No Code, though.

I dont know - I think a large majority of the interviews have mentioned September for a release month, but obviously they could push it up to early August just as easily although they would have to announce it really soon.

If they do not release the album yet I highly doubt they play more than one or two songs just because the last few albums they have made a point of not playing new stuff early.

I wouldnt mind hearing a few new songs though... of course I also wouldnt mind not hearing any yet and getting some older stuff they havent done so much lately.

but that was back before the "official" boot days. I wonder if they'll play something new if they have official boots for this mini-tour.

I can only think of two songs that they did: Gone and Comatose (which I think was called at the time Crapshoot... something, during a benefit show I think in Seattle). Don't they did anything before Yield, Binaural or Riot Act.

I Am Mine, Thin Air and NAIS all got early debuts.

Good point. Forgot about Gone.

We had heard Brain of J before Yield came out, but that was just because it was an old song. We didn't hear it on the No Code tour, for instance.

You just made me think of something... maybe the reason they haven't been road testing them is because of the official boots being available right after the shows... wouldn't the record labels have an issue with this, as it would technically be the band releasing new tracks (almost like a leak) before the actual album is released? If this is the reason (just a theory), then they could potentially do "road testing" again, as they're without a label, and thus can do what they want with their tracks without limits.

well, they have already played europe back in '07 right? no new songs were played. no new album has been released since then. 2 year's later, they are going back there and are playing again, just a few show's. i have a feeling, new songs will be played this time around.

plus, with so much info, so much articles, so much facts; that the band has a new album coming, materal is complete, so much goodies in store for their fans; when touring in the summer, they know they are itching to get some of that studio work out & play live to the fans. all bands have that itch.

DewieCox

This is just dreaming, but how cool would it be if they haven't recorded anything yet, only written songs and the short Euro-Chicago leg is for the actual recording of the album?
