That just means he played somewhere in each state once. If it said "50 DAYS" it would be different.

Actually, it was 50 days straight. My fault for not making that clear. My point is though, it can be done. Not saying Al would want to push himself that hard, but it can be done.

I would hate for Al to overwork himself, regardless of how many shows he manages to squeeze into two months.

I just hope he manages to make it close-ish to my area in California.

You all are also forgetting that it's not just Al. He also has Jim, Steve, Ruben, and Jon with him, too, and they need their rest as well. It would be great to us...to hit more states...play more days...but they're people, too. It's just unreasonable. We'll all probably get to see at least one show somewhere if you're in the states and are willing to travel a couple hours.

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.

I wasnt actually saying that he would or should do it, I was just saying that if he wanted to, he could do 62 shows. I admit it would be awful on him and the band and crew, but it is possible. 40 shows is much more likely.

If Al tours, it'll probably only be like 40 dates out of like... 60?
