I think April is the month they might use for an European leg , but nothing is sure.

At least he'll be in the U.S. for your birthday, Fred. The last date on the Australian tour is one day before mine. Ah, well. I got to meet him backstage one day after my birthday last tour. Did I remember to tell him about that fact? No. It was still an awesome experience that I'll never forget.

Is it true?? Al's really coming to Baltimore?????

*faints*

Ram's Head Live, in the Power Plant, is an awesome venue! I want tickets NOWNOWNOW!!

Does this announcement mean it's confirmed/set in stone/really going to happen?

Pardon my giddiness....*dances around the room*

Just did some checking. RHL is a 21+ venue, since they have an on-site tavern. Interesting...

I'm sure Al and Bermuda would not post a date on The Mothership unless it was 100% confirmed. They certainly don't want to disappoint anybody. It's interesting that it's a 21+ venue. I wonder if the venue will be changed because of that. I know that was done one other time when the venue was 21+.

I would think a good percentage of Al's audience would be under 21, so it would be pretty sad if that was not changed.

The RHL site did say that sometimes that policy is changed, I would assume depending on the act. So I think there won't be a problem. I'm monitoring the site, waiting for an announcement, when I guess we'll know for sure. It wouldn't affect me, as I'm...ahem...over 21, but I hope, for the sake of Al's younger fans, that the policy will indeed be changed. I might even call them tomorrow, or when all this stupid ice melts. I hate winter!

I think as long as they've changed the policy before it should be alright. Some places just don't change, though it's unlikely Al would even put himself in that situation.

He should mix up his set, play a different show each night, and not worry about pleasing the masses by playing every greatest hit every show. If I saw him five more times, and never heard Fat live again, I wouldn't miss it.

He should play more original songs, too.

A different show every night is pretty much impossible for a show with as many lighting effects, video elements and costume changes as Al's show has. It's the tradeoff for having a multimedia extravaganza-- it needs extensive rehearsal and veeery careful timing.

A nice compromise might be rotating 1-2 songs in the beginning set before he goes backstage to change. Imagine all the wonderful old rarities they could do.

Springsteen does something like this when he does regular E Street band tours and the fans eat it up.
