Yes, in a Tweet he said they'd suggested it .. but by the next day they'd thought better of the idea .. and he seemed relieved
(Didn't he say something like he thought it would kill him?) I got the feeling he might have planted a few seeds of doubt for them to mull over when they first suggested it
I'd love the concept .. but can see it would be a huge undertaking, plus I agree that many of the thousands who pack into the arenas wouldn't be as favourably disposed as some of us here. One of the main objectives of a tour would be to sell the new album, and showcasing tracks to create the desire to buy. But many fans will buy their tickets to hear again the songs they already know and love to see performed live: they're the songs that get the audience to its feet roaring and cheering, and I believe Meat knows that very well and it informs his set decisions every tour.
But leaving aside the expectations of his fanbase as a whole, the logistics, the huge amount of planning and rehearsal that would be required, plus the energy and effort from everyone on stage .. Yes, it would be a marvellous dream show
