Reply To: Observations of 2015 tour, etc…

Hide Your Sheep: well as for radio simulcasts let’s keep in mind technically this tour is to promote the live album they just released. I doubt it’s affecting sales but i’m sure they’d like it to be causing people to go out and buy the live album. having a radio simulcast i think would totally kill any chances of that.

At the concert venue, you’d never know they are promoting the Tokyo Dome CD. It’s not for sale in the Merch booths (Kenny Wayne Shepherd’s CD is), and the artwork appears sparingly on the shirts. It’s not promoted during the show at all, at least on the 2012 (ADKOT) tour, you saw the artwork on the big screen, etc…

The tour is the “Greatest Hits Tour” as far as I know, not the “Tokyo Dome Live Tour”. However I’d like to hear that they are going to promote the disc in some way going forward. Right now it seems like it was dropped into the marketplace like a hot steaming turd.
