Always enjoy reading your posts Bill as they get me fired up for the shows I am about to see. Your best point is don't judgeg a show by the setlist....it's all about the ENERGY! Will you be in St. Paul?

Thanks, it was an honor to write about those shows.

Unfortunately, I'm going to be missing a bunch of shows upcoming due to the time demands of two jobs (paying the bills for past tours...) but have some plans in the works for late April... So, no Minnesota Boss for me this time.

I'll have to live vicariously through the reports of others, and the memories from this week...

Those of you with shows upcoming are in for a tight, tight band and I think we can expect a lot of surprises.

Always enjoy your writing Bill. Can anyone post a link to the these? I'm not familiar with bs.net.

Thanks!

Very nice Bill. I can see your happy face in your words. I know how much you enjoy the shows in your homeland.

For those wondering: Chris Phillips of Backstreets handles the content for the blog. He's open to contributions, so go ahead and ping him if you have the urge to write about an upcoming show.

Yes, Chris contacted me last week to write about those shows.

Now the Hamilton review has gone AWOL...

And, right now, the crowd in Rochester is sweatin', 2 hours since the calliope's call.

Common Bill you gotta come to my home town (Omaha). Haven't seen you since the Back to Back Denver/KC shows about 5 years ago. Badlanders is driving in from Denver. It's a Friday show so take Thursday off and your back at work on Monday. I think it is going to be a special Show as he hasn't played here in 20 years and he wrote an album for us. If you can't I understand this will probably be the last for me (went to ST. Paul on first leg) my finances are a little beat up too. Thinking maybe Charlotte as my sis lives there so I got a place to stay. Anyway, thanks for the great reading.

Okay, I'll start doing the math... Problem is that I work weekends now so I have to give away three days of shifts, but you're right, Nebraska is a great state, and I love Omaha, having passed through on several previous tours...

I'll check the weather, too. Tonight it's brutal, but what a show in Buffalo to miss... arrrrrgggghhhhhh....

Hey Bill,
Not because I don't like you, which I don't, but I thought your blogs were underwhelming.

Hey Bill my buddy just called and wife has health issues. Not sure he is going to be able to go. Everyone I know has tix already so you are welcome to his ticket. He is going to get drop tix if it turns out he can go and I get rid of the ticket. Let me know asap. Don't mind giving to friend but don't want it to go to waste.

BigManFan and Pitweller -- thanks for the generous offers. But I have been unable to free myself from the chains of wage labour this weekend (mostly from the contract to be deployed as wage labour) and thus cannot come westward to Omaha and St. Paul -- they'll be great shows, too.

Please find good homes for those tickets!!!

And thanks much again. I'll see you down the road.
