For all the people that are now bitching that they Don't want to see TCE, i bet 75% of you have Never seen it live. Don't bitch until you do. It will get a Huge reaction

i want to see and hear it so that 75% doesn't mean a thing to me.

I gotta say I am disappointed as MP in its entirety is not a strong selling point for me. It is an easy cash in for them though. weak.

MP in its entirety is weak?! Huh?! What?!! I mean,...what?!!!

 

Would you rather have them play Rivendell, Anagram for Mongo, Dog Years, and You Bet Your Life and probably NOT make as much dough?

I was lucky enough to see them play it back in the day.....quite frankly I think it's pathetic they have ignored fans wishes for so long...

I agree. It'll be worth it just to see the crowd go berserk.

Me, I am particularly psyched about Vital Signs live.

Awesome! MP in it's entirety AND several shows within a short plane ride...coolness! Now the only question I have is what color scheme the drums will have.

 

Well, really the only question is the setlist; I wonder just how far back this time machine goes...AFTK, Bastille Day, Chemistry (thank you Mara), Jacobs Ladder...this'll be fun.

It's a smart marketing move though.....designed to make people overlook the fact that they don't actually have a new album to tour with.   Even though my fave album by them is Signals, MP I think would be the coolest album of theirs to hear live in its entirety outside of Hemispheres.   Ironically, the one song off that album I have no interest in hearing is TCE. Partly that's because I saw them do it in the early 80's, but mostly because I think it's the one weak spot on MP. It goes on a bit too long and I was never too crazy about the "focus is sharp in the city" angle. That said, it's still a great song, but the rest of MP is SO incredible that the song pales a little in comparison.

^^^^^^ They last played Chemistry on the New World Tour, 1982. Maybe its time to bring it back? We can only hope...

It's a smart marketing move though.....designed to make people overlook the fact that they don't actually have a new album to tour with.   In any case, lets be honest...that's what folk want to hear, noy eight or nine S&A songs.   However, as they are ignoring the UK, I really couldn't care less what they play. smart financial move indeed as I suggested with the easy cash in remark.   It goes beyond ticket sales too as I am guess the DVD of this tour will sell better than the last few DVD's.

at least you dont have to wait until october to see them

No Michigan stop. And we've always been so good to them here. (To add insult to injury, I'm listening right this moment to a commercial that Huey Lewis & The News are coming to Pine Knob this summer. WTF!) Oh well...maybe I'll be able to make it to Mohegan Sun. Or convince the hubby that he really wants to spend his birthday weekend in Toronto.

What about Sarnia, that's pretty close.

Psyched about the tour in general, but not real psyched about the "MP in it's entirety" announcement. In my opinion with the exception of TCE we have heard all of these songs almost EVERY tour. I would rather have heard PeW or AFK. I guess I shouldn't complain. On Sept 16th I will be in the new Consol Energy Center!!!! I was hoping that they would beat Lady Ga Ga to open the place, but no dice.

Well they skipped over Vital Signs on the Snakes tour so I wouldn't mind hearing that. Witch Hunt is always amazing live. And would they really not play Tom Sawyer, YYZ, or Limelight anyway? All those songs are so great to hear live, no matter how many times...so throw the Camera Eye in there and it's one big RUSHGASM!

 

 

 

Oh, and I CANNOT believe people are complaining about this...f**k's sake, guys, they're touring, they're writing new material, and they're playing rare songs. BE HAPPY ALREADY!

Don't assume that Time Machine means Moving Pictures. I think many will be shocked by the predominance of "classics" this tour. I'd bet we also get Xanadu, Jacob's Ladder, Natural Science, La Villa, etc.

[PuppetKing2112]

This tour is going to be incredible. MP in its entirety makes total sense, because that's what a lot of bands these days are doing, they already play all of side 1 every tour anyway, Witch Hunt sounded great in 07 and 08, and Vital Signs is always good live...plus the fans have been wanting TCE forever so that will be a huge selling point for diehards.

 

The only question mark for me is that they have said many times in recent years that they always rehearse TCE and don't enjoy playing it live. Maybe they've had a change of opinion, but I don't know.

[Ya_Big_Tree]

I hate when they say : Tickets on sale SOON... that means no shopping for a while!

[JimboGames]

The Tampa show will be 30 minutes from my house. West Palm the next night! Two Florida dates! Woohoo!
