Topic: KUDOS to Joe’s older bandmates! And crew!

I use to worry about Joe and his hectec touring schedule. I do not know how he keeps up with all he does but I appreciate everything he does.
But, Reese, Michael, and Anton are much older than Joe! Reese, as far as I can tell, is 71 years old! How do these guys keep up with Joe?
I just wanted to say how much I appreciate all that the bandmates do and put up with to support Joe! Kudos to you all!
And Joe’s crew members as well!
Thank You Joe and to all the bandmates and crew!

Re: KUDOS to Joe’s older bandmates! And crew!

I also sometimes worried about his but I think they are all top fit and like touring.
I am sure Joe cares a lot about not having a too stressy tour schedule because of his older Band mates.
When I count the dates to mid August, there are 56 shows. Even if he does a very extended Fall Tour in the US there won't be more than 100 shows. Usually he does 120-140  year. So he already slows down everything.
He also conccentrates very much on homemarket USA, Canada and in Europe UK, Germany.
So not a lot of flying or rounding the world more than twice. All good.

This year the Party really is not that loud as previous partys.

Joe and Band play 81 solo shows as I counted right.
Plus RCFP, Cruise and BCC.

So, he is taking a lot care I would say.
That are about 50 shows less than other tours before.
I remember him doing about 120-140 a year.

I remember the days when Joe was closer to 200 to 250 shows/year.
Always on the road indeed.
