Wasn't this thread about a long period outlook for the future and not about a short-sight focusing just on the forthcoming album and the present tour?
Anyways I think as a prologue to the whole Chinese thing, this 'nostalgia' tour is very important for this band. In order for a band with new guys to continue the story after a long break, first of all an outline of it up to the last issue should be told live, to the audience that include new fans, anew.
big picture, people.
