Chad Taylor updates MySpace blog, Good news on the upcoming tour Options

[J.Sax]

From Chad's blog:

After two very long days of rehearsing we have worked up some really, really fun material for the May/US dates. I'm betting many of you will be thrilled with the selections. I would tell you what we worked on but that would spoil the surprise of those lucky few who got tickets....sorry if you don't have one.

Can you believe it's been five years since we launched a word tour. I don't count anything shorter than a 6 month run, so that means we haven't done the US like this since the Live/Counting Crows run after Distance. Fuck!

With more than 35 songs in the current batch were more than ready for some extra long shows for the fans who show us the most love. SFBM, AWAKE, BOP, V, TDTH, SS, TC and MJ all represented! See you soon or it could be another five years.......

This should be great! Now hopefully nobody will be complaining about them playing identical sets every night...and we should have some really special shows to look forward to.

Waitress would be nice, but will Ed remember the words???????

Songs they have been playing recently and pretty sure bets for the new tour.

MJ:
1. Operation Spirit
2. Pain Lies on the Riverside
3. Beauty of Gray

TC:
4. Lightning Crashes
5. I Alone
6. All Over You
7. Selling the Drama
8. White Discussion
9. Iris
10. POD (Not recent, but almost a lock to be one of the 35)

SS:
11. Lakini's Juice
12. Turn My Head

TDTH:
13. The Dolphin's Cry
14. Run to the Water
15. They Stood up for Love
16. Dance With You

V:
17. Overcome

BOP:
18. Heaven
19. Run Away

SFBM:
20. The River
21. Mystery
22. Show
23. Sofia
24. Love Shines

Cover:
25. I Walk The Line

That leaves a little over ten songs to play with. My guess or stabs in the dark for adds are:

MJ:
26. Brother's Unaware

TC:
No new adds

SS:
27. Rattlesnake
28. Ghost

TDTH:
29. The Distance
30. Sparkle

V:
31. Nobody Knows

BOP:
No new adds

SFBM:
32. Night of Nights
33. Wings
34. Get Ready

Covers:
35. Running to Stand Still
36. All Along The Watchtower


I think I'm pretty close, but then again I could be way off. Maybe they'd add one or two extra songs from SFBM, not add any new songs from V or bring back Like I Do. I'm interested to see the final result.
