At this point, I just don't feel all that excited about the upcomming "min-tour". I would have preferred that they had taken some time off, released something more prolific than ABB, and then embark on what some have mentioned, extended stays in a few major venues. I am in no way trying to diminish those who are still bursting with anticipation, but it's been a long time since my heart was racing, anxiously awaiting a new release or even the rush we all feel as the lights dim and they hit the stage. I think it's a case of seeing them so many times, the fact ABB was a huge disappointment, as well as the venues they have chosen this time around.
I imagine come Sept 20th, I'll be a little more "pumped" sitting up front at Gillette(assuming sales pick up and I attend), but for now, this is the first time I really could not attend a show a be alright with my decision.

No, no, a thousand times no.
Stop this whining, get on with life.
We should be so lucky they are still performing.
Besides, when you come to Gillette you can witness
where Champions are made, not dreamt of. |

I am concerned about the "Big Dig" and my drive from Boylston to Foxboro. |

Your drive on that route does not travel via the Big Dig.
You will take Mass Pike to 95 to Rt 1
Have no fear, Mitt is here.
He will save us all! |

At this point looks like I'm staying out west. LA and Seatlle shows both are easy for me to get to, and hotels are very nice.
I can't travel east to see a Stadium gig. |

You shall be missed....I am considering Vegas, but may skip entire tour unless venues fill up and set-lists really show some creativity. The idea of sitting through another version of "NightTime" offends me, as well as the horrific concept of being at a rock concert and hearing the Stones play SOL...just not my thing. |

I am still eagerly awaiting the Atlantic City show, their performance, and future records and gigs. |

That seems to be the most intriging show b/c of venue size. |

It just sucks Chicago fell on a family holiday. I will celebrate your birthday in style with my Mouseketeer friends.
Boston is a maybe at this point. I can use miles to fly and jump on a fan asylum, or just grab a ticket last minute. I'm not worried about a hotel. The stadium gig, and seeing the same show I just saw last year hold little appeal. If they had done something announced something to make this different, I would be all over this shit!
I just read on Keno's that the two Beacon shows are maybes, they want to film video there.

Beacon I do as that is a unique experience....I doubr it will happen unless Giants sells out....I will probably skip Chicago(even though I am booked) as it appears to be a remakably poor seller at this time. I like Pug and the rest of the gang, but I am not going to ruin my birthday in a 1/2-3/4 filled stadium in Chicago of all places. |

Don't feel bad, I'm sure they can call you at the pre-party summitt or at the executive office space. Is the great Maxlugar going to Chicago? |

As you might expect, I have not lost the "tingle".
I really didn't think I'd get another chance to see MY band.
To be planning on seeing the Stones again, with all my great friends in Chicago......sweet!!!
One of these days it's gonna be all over.  Think about that.

It's been over for quite some time.....they are my band as well, but I can no longer pretend to be excited over a product so far removed from what I grew up with, that only their name remains the same.

I understand ..I am not as diverse as you seem to be in musical tastes, and I remain a ardent supporter against any "outside " attacks, but it would be disingenuous to say that I have the same feeling I did for them even up till 97....

as much as I am disheartened by the current state of the band/shows, I still get child-like excited when I'm in the venue and they're about to come on. And always fully enjoy the shows.
I've just spent so much $$$$$$ on this band in the last few years and seen so much of the same stuff over and over that I just cant see the point in going again unless its something unique - like a very special venue where they *might* slip in some different tunes |

Joshy, please check your use of "prolific" in the first post. And no, I'm not as tingly as I was in 1997, 1998, 1999, 2003, 2005. They ahve played a lot & I've seen them an awful lot. But I love ABB & I look forward to hearing Streets Of Love 2 weeks & 4 hours from now. The countdown begins! |

For jb-
You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like before in your finger tips
You're trying hard not to show it (baby)
But baby, baby I know it
You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling
Oh that Lovin' Feeling
You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling
Now it's gone gone gone oh oh oh
There's no welcome look in your eyes when I reach for you
And girl you're starting to criticize little things I do
Ooh, it makes me just feel like crying (baby)
'Cause baby something beautiful's dying
You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling
Oh that Lovin' Feeling
You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling
Not it's gone gone gone oh oh oh
Baby baby I get down on my knees for you
(Get down on my knees)
If you would only love me like you used to
(If you would only love me love me)
We had a love, a love that you don't find everyday
(A love you don't find)
So don't don't don't let it slip away (away)
I said baby
Baby
Baby
Baby
(I'm beggin you please) I'm begging you please
I need your love (I need your love)
I need your love
So bring it on back (bring it on back)
Now bring it on back
Now bring it on back
You've got to bring back that lovin' feeling
Oh that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling 'cause it's gone gone gone
And I can't go on oh oh oh
Bring back that lovin' feeling
Oh that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling 'cause it's gone gone gone
Bring back that lovin' feeling
Oh that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling 'cause it's gone gone gone
Bring back that lovin' feeling
Oh that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling 'cause it's gone gone gone |

I was sitting at a local watering hole this week and I thought about Chicago and every hair on my body stood up.
Nope -- haven't lost the tingles yet.
Not sure if I ever will... |
