Posting one interesting post out of hundreds doesn't make you interesting.
Oh Oh which one? I'll make sure not to repeat it.

You won't need reminding to ensure that.

Amuk,
Your opinion....do you think Alice will ever radically alter his stage shows? (I'm not advocating that he should) And if not...do you see a possible link up, by him, to one of the traveling "Oldies" shows with other performers?
You're not a dope...so I think you could even see Alice and Co even forming one of the "caravans" on his own. There are some advantages in these shows...especially for a guy who might want to start to cut back on the number of shows per year...but still have his name out there.
Open to your thoughts.

No (and by the way, you might consider having a separate thread for this).

> (I'm not advocating that he should) And if not...do you see a possible link up, by him, to one of the traveling "Oldies" shows with other performers?

That has happened many times already. I don't see the connection you're making though.

>You're not a dope...

That is debateable.

>so I think you could even see Alice and Co even forming one of the "caravans" on his own.

I don't think I understand what you mean. Normally, the promoters and booking agents are the ones who put those packages together.

>There are some advantages in these shows...

Almost everything he does is advantageous.

>especially for a guy who might want to start to cut back on the number of shows per year...

I don't know for sure that he has that intention.

perhaps the "Billions Dollar Babies" can reunite and join up with one of those oldies caravans. Bring the Battle Axe stage show out of mothballs.

I suppose my post WAS off topic and a bit obscure. I guess I just have trouble grasping Alice's desire to continue his massive touring at his age...using the same formula over and over. Thus my question on creating or joining an "Oldies" tour. I know, I know....everyone says he just enjoys the months and months of touring (and golf adventures?). But I can't help but wonder if there is more to it????? Maybe I'm just over-thinking. (Or looking for those old conspiracy theories, huh?). :nono:

You don't have to. He does what he wants, which is a fortunate position to be in.

Very possibly.

I think he continues to tour just to piss you off. It's part of the plan to continue to push GB out the door.

Better yet, the next time you are at a party with the original band members why don't you ask them?

They have contact with Alice and perhaps they could ask the question for you.

Then again, I bet they would rather have spoiled hors d'oeuvres served at the party then to have you in attendance.

I'd certainly love to see that, and I'm pretty sure a no. of others would. Of course at this point the odds of a BDB Group reunion are likely slim to none and that 70's stage show they had is long gone.

Yeah a one and off show by 'Billion Dollar Babies' would be fun.Sadly, no stage...long gone. But Dennis has a Battle Axe guitar, and knowing Dennis, probably some other stuff. Round up Dolin and Marconi and put on an east coast show somewhere. Flint, Mi would be a great spot too. LOL
