They're alot of 52 year old performers who aren't in half the shape he is in that perform 3 or 4 shows per week. That can't be the reason.

Actually it can-he's spacing them out so as not to be exhausted and all up in peoples faces too much-the more he's away, the more we love him wink

He should come to Ohio...or at least somewhere on the eastern side of PA.

I paid 30 dollars Canadian each for my Lovesexy tour tickets in May of 88. And now the poster from Dallas says he's asking for 1500 dollars a ticket. He's out of his mind if he thinks I'm paying that and I've been a die hard fan for 25 years.

Knickerbockers and the Broadway Blueshirts. Tough to get a solid concert run working around pro sports teams.

But a trip up to the pike to the Arena in Bridgeport, CT for a settee would not be far-fetched. Hint, hint lol itinerary mavens.

Cuz he's got nothing better to do than to hang around New York and do some concerts. He won't call it a tour, cuz he ain't leaving NYC. He won't call it a residency, cuz he just did residencies in Vegas and the UK.

Brother is seriously trying to get as much buck out of as little bang as possible these days.

I think the most obvious reason (besides money) is that he has to go around venue and areana scheds. If he sells out a show, and wants to add another one because of "popular demand" he has to work with dates that are availible. I'm just thankful that MSG continued to add more shows. smile

.......Oh-oh-oh, by the way...He plays guitar.

Do you understand the concept of how long it takes to sell out these shows genius. I know they're sellouts but Prince used to sell out MSG in 45 minutes. That was my question.
