Pornograffitti is one of the best CDs to come from the "cock rock" era.

I agree and Nuno just has.........well that swagger......that something untouchable in his playing. And Gary is an excellent rock vocalist.

I gotta go to this. It's a classic album.

hopefully they bring this tour to the US next. Not a diehard fan, but love their hits and would enjoy seeing them

I swear to God, if they pull off this whole album on the Friday night of the M3 festival and I miss it, I'm going to go postal.

Strange that they're touring it in that it's not a significant anniversary this year or anything.

But my brother and I have discussed this sort of thing before. I reckon DT could tour without an album to support. They just decide "screw it....Let's tour Scenes from a Memory again!" And why the hell not?

I'm all for this kind of thing. There's a fanbase that always wants to see the classics broken out.

Haha. If they'd waited til next year it would have at least been the 25th anniversary.

But then - Green Day played Dookie in full most of last year when it's birthday is this year.

Heres hoping they do 3 sides after.

Here's hoping they come to North America!!

No but I think you qualify for discounted coffee and bus fares.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #11 on:** February 06, 2014, 08:13:21 PM »

I'm all for the coffee. I'll drink it day and night.

They do!

Just bought my ticket for Hampton Beach, NH.

Mother trucker!!! Both the Canadian dates are about 2-3 hours away from me... one east, and one west. And with "Sammy Hagar and Friends". Why are they playing these butt-fuck towns, and not coming to the market where there's 7 million people within a 1 hour radius??

Link won't open for me, and nothing on google shows anything other than them playing it on the euro/uk tour

More and more they pack that place in and I like it less. I just drove by it Saturday.

London and Belleville. You might be able to take in Belleville... only a couple of hours from you. DTF meetup perhaps??

I've never been, and it's the closest to Boston (Hyannis being the other one).

Go there for the day, you'll love it. It's right across the street from the ocean. Enjoy the beach.

Annoyingly the concert is on a Thursday. I have to see, maybe I'll make it a long weekend.

You know you're getting old when you complain about a weekday concert.

I do it all the time.

Looks like only a small handful of dates. It seems likely to me that they will add more.

They were just added to the Rocklahoma lineup this week. I was only planning to catch maybe one full day or a couple partial days of the festival this year, and the lineup of each day of the festival was announced today. They're playing the day I was planning to attend:

So, it looks like I'll be seeing Extreme again for the first time since their Pornograffiti tour.

puppyonacid · « **Reply #25 on:** April 15, 2014, 02:34:50 AM »

I've never seen them live so I can't wait. Got two tickets for Manchester in the UK.

I did get in to them back in '92/93 and was told they were amazing live. The footage I got to see over the years was always a bit hit and miss though. But I did get hold of a copy of the "take us alive" tour DVD and it's really really good.

I just hope the gf doesn't fall in love with Nuno's man boobs :-/

YtseBitsySpider · « **Reply #26 on:** April 15, 2014, 06:46:35 AM »

I saw them the first time they toured this cd.

Incredible show.
I've heard they've not lost anything, vocally or musically.

maybe they'll come to ottawa and upstage the dreadfull "snoozefest" er bluesfest line-up.
