I wonder if Al is going to use this tour to set the bar for the rest of his touring career. Al is coming up on 60 in a few years, and you have to imagine the amount of energy required for the costume changes and stage routine takes a toll on you after a while. It's very possible we may have seen the last of the Fat costume, and I'm ok with that, I'm really looking forward to this tour and see what Al decides to do.

If this tour is actually just deep cuts and original songs, I just came up for a brilliant name for it...

The OriginAL Tour

I'll show myself out.

I wonder if this tour will also mean not just smaller venues, but also smaller cities or smaller ticket prices? Would be cool to possibly have shows closer and also be able to attend more shows.

I hope this also means better chance of meeting Al like in the older times when he was just hang out in the lobby etc and you don't have to pay 200 plus to meet him. I almost met him four years ago but I missed him with the crowd of people surrounding the storm troopers.

Based on the possible leaked tour date, it seems like there will still be a VIP meet and greet package like last tour.

Also to add on to a previous comment, Al has played this theatre before so I'm guessing the places he plays won't be affected.
