2012 Summer Tour Dates

[Gideon]

I noticed it in 2011 but not in 2012. Might have been accoustics, closer seating, etc.

I enjoyed Ranger the most last year.

I don't have a musical ear, but I even "hear" the difference when Faithfully is said to have been lowered. If others "hear" that throughout the set I wouldn't blame them for not liking it or going.

I agree with that. Faithfully suffers more than any other song in the catalog with the way it has been sang the last two tours.

Anyone know if they are playing a half step down this tour or not so I can decide if I'm buying tickets?

Oh for cripes sake, you think if Perry were still fronting this band, would he be singing these songs in their original key? I think NOT.
Arnel does an amazing job with these songs. I probably won't be attending a show this year because I've quite honestly become bored with the setlists.

"Oh for cripes sake," Perry wrote, co/wrote, sang and made the "DD" famous for radio. That would give him the right to sing them "Anyway [He] Want It." And it would have been awesome his rerecording with his TBF voice, a real voice. You probably won't be missed for 99% show up to hear that "setlists" and nothing else as the band is perfectly aware.

[No Surprize]

Just like last year, I get all pumped up waiting to see the tour schedule...just to remember it is the same line up and same songs. Blah.

Last year I saw them once, but didn't decide to go until hour before show. I wish something would be done to get me fired up about seeing them again.

What should be done is finding an american singer for an american band. Seeing this band live with a 4'2" asian singing is sad. I might check out the Palm Beach show though, haven't seen Loverboy in a long time. Benatar isn't bad, but Joan Jett would have been better.
