Is it possible that Oct/Nov are not listed because the heading is "Open Air" shows and Oct/Nov shows are arenas? I know its a long shot, but I am grasping at straws that the 1 show I have left will not be with Bobby on lead guitar. The thought alone makes me nauseous.

I grabbed a cut/paste of one link as the other link tells me no longer avail on the blog? Put it here before it disappears like so many other things these past few months.

I suspect you are correct about "open air" and his child is due in Oct. I also suspect he is bringing in the biggest income of his career right now and a lot of times the best plan is to make it while you can. They will be just hours away flight time in Oct. so he could make the birth and probably find a few days break but it will all be over in Dec. Mama will be home til then and probably could afford some help if needed. Could be Bobby is on lead :rolleyes: but I think we can safely say, it won't be Richie.
I still just hate all of this s. Phil is great, and working so hard but it (for me) will never be the same again. I've bounced back and fourth on Nov. tickets and I think I've decided it's a no. :(

I didn't even entertain the idea that it may be Richie. I just can't imagine it being Bobby, especially since even Matt has said it doesn't work with him on lead.

I haven't bought any new tickets, my last show is the make up show at Mohegan. I didn't get a refund back then because Richie was still on tour. I am glad that I paid attention to tba little voice in my head and didn't buy tickets for Toronto and Philly

What are you guys talking about? He lists all the dates in October/November there as well?? Unless it's something that got fixed after you all posted that....

I just realized too that they have a nice break in November after the 8th nothing until Japan in early Dec. So, my original "hope" that Phil would want to be off the road is pretty much crushed. I like Phil just fine but.... I think I'm finally getting numb - like a 7 month hangover and finally having to wake up.

It was not there when I cut and posted, I would try the additional link and it said page was not available - as if it had been removed. That's why I copied and pasted what was there at the time.. Shame that the most "official" word we get is from Phil.

It definitely wasn't there when I looked. It has completely changed since I first posted about it earlier.

That's not even Phil's official site. It's a blog made by a fan in Oz.

Well, there you go lol.
