I can't believe they have no Texas dates, they always come to Houston and sell out..............

I'm definitely buying at least two tickets, even though I don't have anyone to go with at this point.
I'll also be trying to get backstage for a one-on-one meeting with Neil and/or Chris.

It's odd what cities made the list (three Florida stops) and which ones missed (nothing in Michigan or Colorado).

Denver apparently too young and hip to host this aging band. No Mile High dates.
