M&B have played at that casino in Biloxi every October for at least the last 10 years. In fact, I saw a show there in 2003. Tickets sell out quickly. Great place.

Plus it's a 1500 seater.

They shouldn't be using the 50th logo if it's a Mike & Bruce show. This is so confusing....

If it is a M&B show they should perhaps start printing the revised tour poster  ;D

Ticketmaster shouldn't be, that has nothing to do with the Mike & Bruce band.

This is another show that could have been booked before the 50th tour was even agreed upon. A two-off show in Biloxi, MS isn't exactly evidence of a new US tour.

Given the other booking, I would say the evidence is mounting.

The top price for tickets at the Biloxi gig's $49.95, less tax and fee...so I get the feeling the meet-and-greet will be downright affordable.

The evidence is mounting for what? A US tour with two October dates in Mississppi and one in South America? Sounds like some US tour...

Do the M&B band even do meet and greets?


Title: Re: Mike booking a new US tour already?

I certainly have never heard of one, or seen one, or been offered one. So, no.

One of the many recent articles stated the M&G's were a Joe Thomas idea for the reunion

I wonder if Al and/or Dave will be staying with them.

Not officially, although I've heard that the backing band hang out after shows.

The evidence is mounting that Mike and Bruce will do a string of dates in the fall.

That's all.

Link does not work for me.

BTW: people who a year ago did not want Brian to tour with Mike are now complaining that Mike will perform without Brian.

An hour and a half ago it was a link to buy tickets for a show in Biloxi, Mississippi with the 50th anniversary logo (including all five band members' names). Suggests that either the show wasn't confirmed and it's been pulled, or they've pulled it to remove the 50th logo.

I actually strongly doubt that Mike & Bruce will do any shows in the US for quite a few months, since it sounds like they're talking about the reunion continuing (see Mike's comments at the Cal Saga show).

Looks like the shows got pulled...

Are you really being that rigorous in tracking specific individual opinions over time, or are you just kind of lumping any criticism you hear at any time into one big pile and imagining that it's all coming from the "same" people?

Ain't about Brian touring with Mike anyway. It's about Brian touring with Mike and Al and Bruce and Dave and the expanded backing band ...
