Just a general cruise through TM maps shows some are selling like the Big Beautiful Bill and others are "ok." I don't think anyone expected this to light up the box office.

Looks like the Chicago / Tinley Park show isn’t selling well at all.

Both have over-toured. Who that wants to see Alice Cooper hasn't already? Same with Priest.

It's not like you'll get a radically different setlist than the last time you saw them. Or a very different stage show.

The one thing I'll say for Alice is that Shep is smart with getting him in different markets. Not even B or C markets but literally "towns." In Ohio he's played places like Warren, Sandusky, Lima, Troy...

With Priest you do get a radically different setlist as it's Painkiller anniversary. 7 songs off Painkiller. And Solar Angels as a bone for the diehards who want obscure stuff..As you know I'm not a huge fan of Painkiller or Scott's live drumming but this setlist works. Not surprisingly he plays his own songs better than the Binks / Holland tiunes. Saw them this month in Sweden and the place was sold out well in advance. Dalhalla outside tiny Rättvik, 6k capacity only but it's nowhere near a big city.

Are they going to stick with that setlist for the AC dates? I'd assumed it would be more of a traditional "best of" setlist for that audience?

Wait. So they are just ignoring their 1981 masterpiece POINT OF ENTRY?

They should at least rotate in a medley of the side 2 songs...

Outselling Ghost tour every night- nobody likes Ghost anymore
Judas Priest is so desperate for ticket sales -now Judas Priest must do 7 or so from Painkiller era to get the After The Rain and Cherry Pie generation to show up
Jani Lane and Bret Michaels should form a band called "Nelson II"

They're doing Solar Angels this tour, according to LI, and I didnt list Highway, as its a staple. I did put Desert Plains.

Not from PoE but didn't they play Killing Machine on the Firepower tour? That's definitely obscure....

It can't help but do better than last time

It's absolutely idiotic to contend Zep weren't A-listers in the 1970s.
