Didn't really get to the subject of a live release, other than indirectly. When we were talking about the band's schedule in general, he said some things about what they WILL be doing that had nothing to do with a live release, so I was left with the impression that I had before, which is that there aren't plans for one. But just based on where the conversation went, I didn't directly get on the subject.
But we DID talk about whether he will work on a solo album. In short, it's not going to happen anytime soon. But here's why: The band collectively has a relatively "short" break time now after doing the I&W tour, which remember came right after two TA tours. After this break time, they plan to go into the studio and start working on the new DT album, which is set for a late Fall delivery date, so that it can be released in early 2018. (the label actually wanted it earlier!) For those of us going about our lives and waiting on a new DT album, that seems like a long way off. But in terms of being a band and working with the typical album release cycle and all the details that entails (writing and recording time, then doing the re-records and other little details after the fact, post-production, mixing, and then the production/marketing/release cycle), there really isn't any "spare time" built into the schedule. Right now is the spare time. Unfortunately for those of us wanting a new JP solo album, JP was invited to G3 and is using his "spare time" to do that. There isn't a window for him to record the next solo album, unless he were to rush something while he is on the road, which he doesn't want to do for obvious reasons.
