So, once we devour Stevens book - who do we want to hear from next? I’m going with Gary …. He’s been around since day one and must have tons of cool stories for us!! Brad

The best RITS is the next time he plays it .....

Well on the last tour it happened for the first time because he had neck surgery in 2015, thus - will that trend continue; etc

I think we're gonna see much of the same as we did for the last tour. I also think the days of back to back shows are gone. That sucks for fans like us who travel; look for changes or simply fucking hates waiting!!! lol I've seen over 123 shows and I can DEFINITELY tell you that a second straight nights energy is MUCH more on fire than if he skipped an evening. Personally, I'd like to see them play arenas but loose the behind the stage seating - simply keep the show front/center. That would also keep him less active, thus preserving him for the 2025 Tour!! Now, if we can only keep him from spending so much time in the audience, as he has this past decade - then we REALLY have a chance haha Brad

Minus, "Burnin Train" & "Rainmaker" ..... as well as moving "One Minute Your Here" to another slot in the song order - I love this record and listen to it all the time! Ya know, come to think of it: I sorta think he's fucked up a bit this century on song order. Meaning, "The Rising" is FILLED with classics and is a GEM as a whole. But I'm sorry - the song order sucks on that record! Hey - maybe it's all mental because of the way he wound up presenting those songs on stage back in 2002 and as you fellow tramps know: WE PAY MUCH MORE ATTENTION to his live stuff! Who knows - Whatever - I understand he's portraying his message as an artist but, so what - song order sucks anyway and the same goes with LTY's song order hahaha (As if I've sold 100 Million of anything) lol I think "Magic" and "Wrecking" are solid. As for "WOAD" and "High Hopes", those are mostly outtakes - so I don't really see them as their own. However, they are both terrific with certainly - HH leading the way. Brad

Dude ..... next time, try eating a powerful THC gummy prior to the listen - you'll be hauling-ass to the next "Bob's Big Boy" in your dreams lol Brad

Any room for me ? The problem is I won't wanna leave lol

All I know is that most of us here have watched they're kids grow up (albeit from a fans distance) and I cant be any more proud of her! This is the biggest honor that can be given to an American Athlete and she has for sure worked her ass off for this! As for who can/cant attend - Covid sucks, but its just our times. Good luck Jessie!!! Brad

Yep! Great shows on that Podcast - that's the stuff that should have been on the old mans Sirius channel all along!

All I know is that a 15 Year Old was in the audience that night never imagining that when he’s 51, he’d be waiting for the next tour with as much enthusiasm as he had then. Brad

Wow …. Does this picture bring back memories: The most I had was over 350 shows at one point! We sure have all come a long way …. I love it buddy!!

And he has the smallest hands ever for a dude!

WHOO HOO!!!!!! NOW WE'RE TALKING!!! This was actually the second time I ever saw him - the previous night being the first! lol This show was most needed! Brad

Wow …. The second show was my first bootleg! I was 11 and my neighbor had it on a record - as time went on, I discovered he did shows that went over three hours haha I was pumped when NUGS gave us the audio but I’m even more excited for this video, although I was never a big videoleg guy …. (FYI: However if anyone ever finds an ENTIRE professionally shot Fall 84 show - please let me know). Whats amazing - is when I look at all the other artists that participated in this project - they ALL have hit songs besides our boys!!! You younger folks wouldn’t understand but in those days - there were no Music Videos! So, if you didn’t hear someone on those piece of shit radios from the 1970’s - then the only way you saw your favorite artists face was in a magazine or on an album cover! Therefore, the band’s reputation as a live act was already FAR in place!! That’s the power of live music!!! Brad PS: Enough nostalgia - Bring on the 2022 LTY Tour!!

I’m not sure I’m following this correctly - he did release a lot of albums during those years! No, he didn’t do what Billy Joel did - which was basically release something nearly every year (maybe that’s why that guy hasn’t written one new song since 1993), but the years your mentioning were very productive for the guys. However, I don’t think anyone here doubts his success would have been more than what it was before 1984 had he released "The Promise” in 1977; which - as far as I’m concerned - is truly the fourth album.
