Caught up again with them in Vegas and rode it out til the end; just got back last night. Been a terrific summer having been on the road all of June too. I'm exhausted and I haven't played one note of anything.
A bunch of us made the last sound check. There was about 30 or 40 people there. Usually off limits. It was very emotional for everyone, but more for the fact that it was the end of the tour. Feel me?
I can tell you that a) the band is not breaking up. b) this is not the end...technically speaking. They were talking about working on new material this fall or winter last Tuesday even. c) who is to say if they do some, they won't do a several show type thing in Europe or elsewhere sometime?
That's all I got. Or rather all I can give you'se.
I'll see Ged again in October and will talk to him before that for sure. Doubt there is anything new then band related, but if there is, and I can... I'll let you know. Usually, I stay pretty silent about "stuff" and I will remain so relatively speaking. I won't betray my friends trust. But I do know this is a highly charged time for fans. Despite the fact that when they go out forever, it will be while on top of their game. And there ain't no spring chickens anywhere in sight. But this isn't goodbye for good.
