BAD tour 2103

[Andrew G. Doe]

Maybe I've missed something in my catching up, but currently there's the following dates listed, either on the Bloo or by the venues themselves:

7/20   The Grand at The Golden Nugget, Atlantic City, NJ
7/21 Stage AE, Pittsburgh, PA
7/25 Fraze Pavilion, Kettering, OH
7/26   Ravinia Festival, Highland Park, IL
7/27 Weesner Family Amphitheater, Apple Valley, MN
10/20 Greek Theatre, Los Angeles, CA

The MN date is at a zoo, apparently, and the Joisey date is of course a casino. Jus' sayin'...

2103? sh*t, I ain't gonna live long enough to see that

[ontor pertawst]

 I think that was covered way back in March 2102. Insert oh-my-gawd-who-can-ever-believe-it-wow-we-certainly-don't-already-know-that outrage here, hopefully that'll cheer you up.

Will there be chicken wings, tho?

I got no problem with Brian playing casinos and "Zoo's". I do have a problem with "The Beach Boys" playing such venues..

Let's not go down that road again

Know you've been away, already a thread and discussion on all this on another thread, yours.

Mike/Bruce are playing a river. Semantics.

Paul is playing a baseball diamond.  Holy Batman.

Shady - come on! There was a primal scream with the "casino" thing in the not-so-remote past.  The reality is that the entertainment business model has changed, and has been a threat to older community-based theaters.  Casinos are the new "mall" for one-stop shopping, and dining.  People were on a serious rant about "snob-zoning" venues.  All the headliners go there.  Going to the people, wherever they are is what music business is all about. 

And, I hate casinos and the vice that flows from them.  They played casinos for C50. 

And: Yes, Andrew (Doe) - welcome back!

Okay you guys, whaddayathink - any chance of the BAD crossing the pond this summer? 

[drbeachboy]

"Live from America to entertain you tonight with a gala concert and a recording session, the fabulous BAD Boys!"

[AndrewHickey]

Okay you guys, whaddayathink - any chance of the BAD crossing the pond this summer? 

I'd guess low but non-zero.

Yeah, that's what I thought.. but to quote the immortal Christopher Reeve: "Once you choose hope, anything's possible."

2103? sh*t, I ain't gonna live long enough to see that

Out of some sort of cruel irony BW will still be alive that year.

I must confess that this thought crossed my mind too.

Any Futurama fans here? Mike's head is going to be kept in one of those cryogenic tanks they have. Right next to his pal Richard Nixon.

Cool, they're playing the Ravinia Festival in my town.  It's not actually a festival, but a beautiful outdoor venue with a pavilion, a huge lawn and people normally bring picnics on the lawn and hang out there.  There is also a restaurant.  It even has it's own train station for people coming from Chicago.  It's definitely an upscale place.  Everyone from classical, jazz, new age, world, oldies rock, new rock, bluegrass, country, blues, you name it plays there.  My high school graduation was held there a long, long time ago.

How long can they conduct this parallel tour existence? I can only hope that they do this for a year and that they reunite for the album and more major shows. I predict that this will happen and that Mike will say "I made it clear that I was never against that."

I predict it carries on for less than six months from the start of the tour before Brian stops working with Al and David.

They have already exceeded that starting with the C50 album and tour.

Which is why I said "six months from the start of the tour", not "six months from a year ago"...

[Pretty Funky]

6 months will be Jan 2014. Winter is normally pretty quiet in BB land so what are you thinking they will be doing after summer this year?

Splitting up...

[Pretty Funky]

Yeah but odds are that would be the case after the Greek gig in Oct anyway.

Do you mean a falling out? Hey as they are guests anyway that could happen before gig one. As was the case a few years back with Al. Time will tell.
