I realize that it is still a little ways out - but I was wondering if anyone had some thoughts
Now that is has been relatively confirmed that the boys will be returning to the States in the spring (they really can't be thrilled about this can they?) - How does the tour play out
Do you turnaround and re-visit the places you just played 6 months ago or do you tackle new areas?
Do setlists contain the same amount of IBE tracks? i.e are we stilll in promote mode?
They played a ton of cities in a short window Same thing second time around or to you scale it back or lenghten the trip?
Does this mean Europe is off the table until the fall?
Curious to hear your thoughts
who said they were touring the states again?
When they were at the Edge studios - they mentioned that they were going back in the spring. Has to be a contractual issue with Universal.
my guess would be that they will continue to promote IBE in the "staple" cities....Chicago, Boston, NYC....and venture out to areas they didn't hit last time around.

yeah, they should definitely visit some new cities, how about
ithaca? they're definitely welcome to play here! new upstate ny shows are always a good idea

Anywhere within a 6 or 7 hour drive of Toronto on a back 2 back Friday & Saturday night would be just fine with me.

I've been out of the loop recently due to a surgery, why do you say this:

As for my prediction, they will Definitely be returning to Buffalo at HSBC Arena or a smaller theater.
Taken from a post about the Edge visit before the ACC show
"Also talked to gord about if they were to ever going to release some old unreleased hidden gems like get back again, blonde solid....he said that he actually talked to rob about that but it would be a lot of work to dig out all the old tapes (i quickly offered to send him my copies of the show) maybe there's still hope.
i talked to rob about the private show and that like tina said they're booked for 2004 but might be an option for 2005, obviously it's a lot of work to get a date, location, time...but hopefully it'll work out
gord said as for 2005 they're heading back down to the US and are thinking about possibly playing some canadian dates, rob said that hopefully they'll be playing some outdoor venues this summer across canada, maybe even a roadside type event."
I also remember reading (a while ago) that the record deal would change the dynamics of touring requirements in the States - a little surprised that they would bite on that condition.

This seems similar to the PP Tour, when they toured the US in the fall of '98 and then played some additional dates in the spring of '99.

My thoughts exactly!
Keep your fingers Chris for a possible road trip.

alternative? how about a syracuse-ithaca weekend! :jump
Also, I wouldn't be surprised if we hear a couple of new songs in the spring either. In a couple of interviews the boys have mentions that they are still writing, and currently working on a couple of new songs.
I'm pretty sure we'll see them again in the Metro-Detroit area, most likely at the venue formerly known as Pine Knob. The Hip always ROCKS the 'Knob!
Oh, and...
