Re: New Underworld album - Barking (Sept. 13, Sept 2 Japan)
for the OwB tour, I did all the US dates..

as rabid as we dirts are, the boys just don't have the pull here that they do elsewhere.

the attendance for the second night of the san francisco leg was a fraction of what it was the first.

red rocks was cancelled - and relocated to the much smaller fillmore - due to low ticket sales.

the cavernous bank of america pavilion in boston was barely 3/4 full.

combine that with the fact that karl and rick generally aren't interested in 'standard' venues - opting for the more 'scenic' and 'iconic' spaces - and you've got a pretty good idea of why the US tour only hits a handful of cities.

not sure if i'll do the entire thing again.. but i had such an amazing time in 2007 - truly a trip i will never forget - that i just might have another tour of my own!
