Yeah I have to say I'm pretty disappointed in this Summer Stadium Leg of the tour. I was expecting at least another 5 or 6 shows in a bit more of an extensive market. Although I would have hoped for the band to come back to Toronto I'm even more suprised that they have alienated most of the Western US with this leg. As was stated in the last post 90% of the shows are in and around the New Jersey/New York area. I understand that this area is the epicentre for this band just as NY would be for someone like Billy Joel but I just got the impression from some of the interviews I heard with the band and others that this leg of the tour was really going to be outstanding, however with the exception of Giants (which we all knew was coming) it really hasn't been anything to write home about. It would be nice if a few more dates were announced but since its been 2 weeks since the last of the Giants shows was announced it looks like this is it for the HAND tour. Just wish I had made it to more than one show durring the initial run through the US/Canada instead of holding out for the summer shows which didn't really materialize.
