I wonder if they'll finally allow brown M&Ms backstage? If they do, then you will know it really is the end of the world.

I don't think so, unless they plan to appear in Buffalo.It's bizzare why they haven't got a stop in TO planned, unless its the dollar, but TO has long been one of their biggest bases, so if they choose to stiff us, well,nuts to them ;-)

They're stiffing most of the US, not even going to the south. I think that the furthest south they're going is Philadelphia. Nothing in Texas. But four nights here!

For the most part, it looks like they're mostly going to the Blue Zone states. ;-)

It's weird, like they're doing a little over a week of shows, then taking off three weeks and then another 8 days or so. I guess their age is catching up with them.

You know who's opening for them? Robert Plant!! I bet they'll check out ticket sales if they are strong then maybe expand it, like hit Phoenix, San Diego, Dallas, Hoston, Denver, Atlanta....and yes, they are getting old ;-)The geezers need their rest!!
