    I mean he did hint the drummer announcement was coming….. which we are still waiting for.

    Just like my kids… they got a new toy, I’m sure they want to play with it!
    Who hinted when?

    ^when they opened with it at my birthday show in Raleigh it was magical. 
    Appeared to be an animal, yet so polite.

    Yes! Thought Upper Hand was the best DM song live. Scared of Fear & Setting Sun tied for 2nd in my books.

    The entire album except for one song.

    That's what I'd like them to keep playing.

    One of only two songs I missed at Fenway!  That and got to give but not many have seen that one.  I loved those shows but was bummed I missed Upper Hand.  I’m all for it staying in the rotation!

    Really hope they keep this and Stevie in rotation. The only 2 songs I haven’t heard live yet and 2 of my favorites off the album. Still loving this album as a whole too, listen to it top to bottom regularly

    IMO upper hand, setting sun, and WFS are all somewhere within the top 10-20 songs they’ve ever written. I was fortunate to see all 3 multiple times, and I thought all of them translated very well live. Setting sun is my favorite closer I’ve ever heard them play. I really hope all 3 remain in the rotation going forward.

    Just my opinion but I can’t see them taking an entire year off.  The band is set financially but I think to keep there “club house”running ( i one they keep showing off) they need to play shows.  Even if it’s only 10-12 in a year, that’s probably enough to keep it funded. 

    My prediction for 2026
    1) fall tour that includes Toronto and Montreal 
    2) I hire @mcgruff10 to run the Niagara region. 
    1996.....Toronto
    2005.....Hamilton
    2011.....Toronto N1, Toronto N2, Hamilton
    2013.....London, Buffalo
    2014.....Detroit
    2016.....Toronto N1 Toronto N2, Boston  N1, Boston N2, Chicago N1
    2018.....Seattle N1, Seattle N2
    2022.....San Diego, Los Angeles N1, Los Angeles N2, Phoenix, Oakland N1, Oakland N2, Quebec City, Ottawa, Hamilton, Toronto  
    2023.....Fort Worth N1, Fort Worth N2, Austin N1, Austin N2
    2024.....Las Vegas N1, Las Vegas N2, Los Angeles N1, Los Angeles N2, Boston N1, Boston N2
    2025.....Raleigh N1, Raleigh N2, Pittsburgh N1, Pittsburgh N2
    2026.....?????????????????????????????????????????

    Anyone here thinks that dusting off that 2004 Vote for Change footage in an important midterm election year is not a coincidence?

    As much as they include their solo stuff in the newsletter, that line in there could easily apply to any of those side projects.
    If they really found their guy already, and they’re that excited to get out there, that’s going to make for some killer shows! 
    I feel like if we’re ever to get some smaller theater “warm up” shows again, maybe this is the chance.
