Six shows confirmed so far including the historic return to The Ritz (now Webster Hall), 24 years after the filming of their heralded "Live At The Ritz" — the MTV concert continues to be one of the most sought after trades in bootleg circles.

I have nothing against that poster. No-oh.

I just hope they really make something special of it. Not just the same setlist as the last leg of the tour. Maybe a partly acoustic set of a couple songs is a nice idea.

Yeah, I hope so, too. But I wouldn't be surprised if it is more or less identical to what they did in 2011.

Now I wish the band gets some well-deserved rest (especially Bumbles)
and are fit for fight again in May. And if possible, cram in a few days
of working on a new record "Up Close & Personal" - February theatre tour announced! Wink
