Yeah, good point. Unfortunately though I think the current SM line-up will perform the forthcoming gigs. It's strange, as I discussed with someone not too long ago that if SM done a New Gold Dream album tour, I wonder if the band line-up would include Derek and Mick (as they co-wrote that particular album). More to the point, would Derek and Mick agree to do the tour if approached?
I'm not bothering with the tour. If I knew for certain that Derek and Mick were part of it then I'd be there like shitoffastick.

Shitoffastick? Tabs....

Tabs, I guess until they step out on stage we won't know who will be in the line up. Could even be that Jim McDermott guy on drums, who knows?
I just thought they might have Mick and Derek just play the NGD set. but I'm sure I'll know what Derek's answer will be to that already! lol
It's weird because it's not a full on tour, but just a week of gigs.
So why not? A full celebration of the band not just the music.
Swallow pride and lets have the fans buzzing when they leave the arenas.
