Mike - along with the other four - agreed to the initial 50 dates: then, as it became evident the tour was going to be a monster, the decision was made to extend it by roughly 50%, another 23 dates, essentially the entire overseas leg. Mike changed his mind for the greater good once, and - granted I'm shooting in the dark here - maybe someone guessed he'd roll over again, and was surprised when he didn't. Also, as has been pointed out excellently earlier today, if it was Mike wanting to go on and Brian's saying "no", you know as well as I do there wouldn't be anything like as much fuss, if any at all. Because it's Brian, and that makes all the difference to a certain clique here and elsewhere.
As the new BW album thread has turned into a 'Why did Mike ruin the reunion?' deal, perhaps we can take it here and stop pissing many posters off!
The above brings up a point. Was a good thing ruined by extending it too far? Who here hasn't been to a good party that went bad after nobody called time?
