King is out and one tour strong. we have some early year dates and and extended stay planned. What this tells me is that for summer 2012 the furthest west we will see these guys is Red Rocks again. I think its about time Red Rocks gets a release and a 2 night stay. From the looks of the last tour they could have been experimenting with the 3D virtual tour for fans (DVD hopefully)?

The couldn't sell out either night of a 2 night stay at BoA Pavilion in Boston (5000 capacity) and the Hartford show this summer was embarrassing how empty it was. On the other hand, when Rain or Shine came out, they DID announce it before hand (didn't they?). I vaguely remember waiting with anticipation for the setlist to come out on oarsa. If that was the case, you would get a lot of people from out of town who want to be there for a live album taping, as well as a good showing locally. In my opinion, the next live album will be something similar to Any Time Now. Small venue, 2 nights, hopefully play a bunch of throwbacks as well as the new. Maybe an unplugged album? That could be cool.

Would be best to take a little of everything from each stop...few songs in DC, few songs in NYC, few songs in Philly. They also talk about doing deep tracks on the residencies, hope this is true, as much as the new stuff off of King is great...it would be nice to see OAR as they used to be. I would love to see the big venues go away, I am so happy for the success the guys have had, but I, along with many of you who have been around for years, would like "our band" back...weed out some of the "fans" and get back to the real die hards. Another MSG or Red Rocks would be great, but places like the 9:30 Club and the Beacon Theater or the HOB here in Boston would be to me much better then a BoA Pavillion show any day of the week.

The energy at the Fox was amazing and there were a few rarities played. Any speculations on potential openers for the upcoming tour?

I think that their best bet would be to have a DVD with mostly hits on it with an option for a bonus disc with the deep cuts. "If music is the one thing that surrounds you, you feel no pain"

I know Marc tweeted at some point that the next live album would be recorded in the summer, but I highly doubt that. If they were to hit the studio next winter (presumably), they'll have an album out next summer (the process most likely won't be this long this time). That means in order to prevent overlap, the live disc would ideally need to be out this summer. If it isn't recorded until the summer, odds are it would be only 6 months or less apart from the studio release, and I think that's a bit too close aj - astereo

Anything before that will practically be rain or shine with the addition of some king songs. I think it would make much more sense if they had two albums of fresh songs to feature on a new live album.

Posts: 5259 01/25/2012 2:42 PM 3rd Row Is Too Far!	To say selling out MSG "really" isn't that tough is pretty clueless. 19,500 people. Go through the calendar through the year of who plays at MSG... them selling it out (a few times) is impressive. They did in 2006 when they had one song on barely 5% of radio stations.

I've heard a few times that they still have new material and a new album could be out in a lot shorter time than the usual schedule.

If not, it's only one show, and it's not sold out? Am I getting this right?

Also too, the crowds of CO didnt really know OAR and they still filled the place 4 years ago. Word of mouth has encouraged a stronger crowd over the years. No one really knew Poker 4 years ago and now crowds are imitating what the crowds back east are doing. Shattered just keeps getting louder each year. So they will do fine there. The pros of filming a Dvd there is because its a beautiful setting and sound and would join the ranks of many bands that have filmed there. The cons would be the group not putting their best effort forward either by a bad setlist or being worn out from constant touring. As much as I like seeing new material from this group, the King Dvd they looked either really tired and/or pissed with Marc just doing most of the talking. Heres's to hoping I'm wrong, I love these guys. On a side note, the guys they said they like to listen to, Foster, they will be there at RR July 3rd. I'm waiting to see what kind of energy they're going to bring.
