Considering how his year's been, he's looking pretty damn good. A couple more months and he'll even have tour-ready hair. A suitable coiff is important for a former roosterhead like Ronnie. Look forward to seeing him in Nashville and Atlanta. Last show I saw him, DC, during the encore he cut a finger on a string. Hope he's a tiny bit more careful this time.

Woohoo! Now, who can point me to the Opening Acts thread? Think how wonderful it would be if in their final tours the band went back to showing an interest in who opens for them, and in selecting really deserving performers to give a boost to? When I was 17 I got to see Stevie Wonder as their opening act. Stevie Wonder! I'm grateful, because I really doubt I ever would have seen him

Quotekeefmick No insider info here but with 13 shows listed, I doubt many more will be added if any. Possibly 1 or 2 if at all. Agree. I noticed the 7 day gap between LA on Oct 17 and Minneapolis the 24th. Might a 2nd LA show be added on Oct 20, if Sofi stadium's available then? That's just 3 days rest from the 17th but they'd have no travel.
