it is uncle, since dave has been back, 2 cd's and 3 tours with another this fall in the u.s. if ray puts out an album and tours i will buy the cd but if he plays the same show hes been playing since 2006 i may pass on that expense

Holly do you think the way Ray and Dave handled their fiftieth had a negative effect on their fan base, even this board?

i know holly i'd like to see that show but i dont think it will transfer to broadway, even as good as it appears to be. tommy and american idiot were big sellers but the janis joplin show didn't make and unfortunately green day the who and joplin were bigger here than the kinks

although they wouldn't fill big arenas here a good small to mid size theater tour would have been fine with me

I doubt there will ever be a reunion, but I have hopes for the album!

But I heard the Janis Joplin show wasn't very good. The Carole King show, Beautiful, continues to run and sell tickets. Carole King was very popular and from a different era, but not that much better known than the Kinks. It helped that the star was extremely talented. And of course, it was probably well promoted. Ray doesn't always seem to do promotion for his projects very well.

Look at how long it took Ray to release Other People's Lives. Of course, he did get shot in the middle of all that.

i worked the janis show and not being a fan, made no impression one way or another. by early december it was lucky to bring in 400 people in an 1100 seat house and iirc it opened on halloween

I don't think the gray board exists at all anymore.
