I do disagree for following reasons:
A) People don't come out to hear the new songs
The lion's share of revenues comes from the live gigs, not from album sales
C) Other "oldies acts" like John Fogerty, the Allman Brothers, Motley Crue, Moody Blues, and probably alot of others I can't think of have toured without releasing an album with any NEW material. Wasn't the 40 Licks Tour done behind just a re-packaged box of old songs ??
