My fellow Moonbuds,
Rick is indeed caring for the Band.
A long tour? For what end, No new music and a diminished Fanbase. 15,000 seat arenas? They are already playing 7000 seat places by the skin of their teeth. As Rick said, they could have made fewer and more special shows and he would have been in. Frankly after a dozen shows for me over 30 years, Im getting as old as they are and just want to stay home. All the players are 60ish. Howe should tour as the Cadaver. Jons voice is still mighty and worth the ticket Im sure, I just know that at our age I understand Rick not interested in a Full time Job.....
By the way, Ricks Solo Piano tour 2 summers ago was the highlight of my Life... his skills are there for all to see
