Yes.

Why didn't they made on the official site in the Tourlist-section a difference between the summertourdates and THE Fundamental Worldtour, wich is in my eyes a lot more exiting than the (small) Summer Tour (will visit them in Bonn and Leuven - Belgium).

It's always the same game!

It's on the official site, when it's confirmed! But the ticketmasters always are quicker! Thats normal! Assume it will on the official site, when half of the gigs are save!

I am so happy that they will do a show in Montreal !!! YEEEEEE AHHHHH !

what about AUSTRALIA ???????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its been 12 years since they were here.

Thanks for posting the dates!

Two dates in L.A. at the Wiltern, a small intimate theater i think no seat is a bad one, I saw "Erasure" there for the "abba-eque" concerts about 15 years ago and also saw Phil Collins for a one off charity for the "But Seriously" tour also around 90'.

Don't know why they did not book the "Universal City" and Irvine Theaters, another sign of their shrinking popularity? Also no Las Vegas and San Diego? I was lucky enough the last two tours to travel to these city's....Dam!

The good thing is that the wiltern has a small side stage door where you can hang around and get autographs. The Universal had a large outdoor patio and musician room where all of the L.A. Music Industry people would gather and drink and meet the band, I was lucky enough for the Release and Nightlife tours to get back stage passes and was able to meet neil & chris, but I don't think the Wiltern has such an area so most likely no meet & greet?

This from the wiltern website http://www.thewiltern.com/default.aspxre (sounds promising I wonder what type of seating arrangement they will use):

Formerly an all-seated venue, the theatre had its 1,200-orchestra level seats removed and now features a five-tiered floor that rises upward from the stage, thereby accommodating every type of audience, from a standing-room-only configuration to banquet-style seated events. The balcony still offers a thousand permanent seats, and the flexible new arrangement allows for seats to be brought in to the floor section downstairs for more intimate performances. The venue's new capacity is roughly 2,300, depending on how the main floor level is arranged. In October 2003, The Wiltern and LG Electronics, a leading global consumer electronics company, celebrated the renaming of the theater. Currently known as The Wiltern LG, this venue sponsorship offers concert-goers the opportunity to become acquainted with LG Electronics' line of well-designed, groundbreaking digital products. Formerly a great place to catch more sedate acts, the Wiltern's new design makes it one of “LA's coolest venues to check out performers of any type of music” says AOL’s City Guide

For the San Francisco venue (Bill Graham auditorium), there are reserved floor seats, even though that venue is often General Admission (standing only) Floor.

I assume the seating would be similiar at the Wiltern. Maybe they assume the PSB's audience is too old to have a mosh pit.

Having seen them twice at the Hard Rock in Las Vegas with general admission and Smoking allowed (what a health hazard) then seeing them in San Diego and Universal with reserved seating and no smoking, man what a difference no smoking and reserved seating makes!

Sat 10/21/06 Austin, TX The Backyard
I guess it's a quick trip to Austin this time. They've been to Houston for the last two tours and I can't imagine why they would skip us this time around. True, Austin is the live music capitol and all but that doesn't really include dance / pop music. Oh well, it's only two hours away.
So far, Houston has been general admission / standing only and I hope Austin is the same. General admission is the best. The people that want to have fun and dance end up in the front and the ancients grab their walkers and shuffle aside.

They are playing Detroit the day before my birthday...I might have to go! I figured they would play a small venue like the State.

the only reason i could think why they don't want to play Las Vegas is because of bad ticket sales from the Release tour. during the show, they were giving away tickets for free outside.
