Well, I guess I can commend Al for maintaining his artistic integrity by not wanting to pigeonhole himself as simply being a nostalgia act. I guess he takes a lot of pride in the fact that he's one of the few artists to stay relavent for longer than a decade and whose new material still stands up to, and sells as well as, his old material did. Good for him.

I would like to see Al do a show where he plays one of the first three albums front to back.
I couldn't tell a dirt clod from a plate of caviar.

I went to see Journey once and it was amazing.

Steve Perry hasn't played with Journey is a long time. I saw them last summer and while they were very good, Foreigner opened up for them and was even better.

So...if any of you spoke to Al or any of the band members at some of his most recent shows, have they said anything about adding more dates?

They may plan on it, but it seems like William Morris has other plans
