Working Three New Band Members into the Never Ending Tour | Ray Padgett’s Flagging Down The Double E Newsletter



Working Three New Band Members into the Never Ending Tour
Kickoff of "Seattle and Prague" six-part mini-series


Two big anniversaries arrive in the next week. They both mark key turning points in the Never Ending Tour. As it happens, those anniversary dates land back-to-back, ten years apart, and each anniversary concerns a three-night stand at a single venue to kick off a tour. So I’m rounding them both into a six-part miniseries I’m calling, simply, “Seattle and Prague.”

I’m betting many of you know what the “Prague” part refers to. But that anniversary, 30 years ago on March 11, doesn’t land for a few days. So, if you don’t know, you’ll find out soon enough.

Before that, though, we have a 20-year anniversary to mark. And this one I suspect is somewhat more obscure. A fairly large percentage of you probably know what “Prague ’95” refers to. Is the same true when I write “Seattle ’05”? What’s so special about that?
