I can't believe what I'm reading. You guys (not OE) are making yourselves sound incredibly rude and selfish. Al is human like the rest of us, as is the band and crew. Performing every night with no breaks is unthinkable. They will schedule the tour to maximize efficiency of travel and performer strength like they have been.

No, no, no. That will never happen. Because the total time to tour is limited, in order to meet fan expectations and maximize profits, they'll have to do TWO shows every night for the full duration.

Just saying, George Thorogood once did a "50 Dates in 50 States tour". So, it CAN be done.

I would never want Al to over work himself. I think it is increadable that he is going for almost a bonus round over the summer! Thats deffinatly saying thanks to his fans. I am sure he will hit up a lot of major cities and will do an awsome show when his in your neck of the woods. I found that sometimes driving to a show that is somewhere kind of far from where you live is kind of cool! Because no only are you showing love and devotion, but it can be an adventure too. A destination show!
