I want to do all of it; not have someone come down the road at some time and say 'well, you toured Canada, but you missed here and there'. I want to do it all".
Ok that may not be the exact quote exactly, but that is the general idea that he said and the article conveyed across.

I understand that, but what I don't understand is playing the Cunard Centre instead of the Metro Centre in Halifax, or playing the Savoy Theatre in Glace Bay just outside of Sydney when Centre200 seats so many more.
Hell an outdoor concert on the waterfront would have been amazing, and have been able to hold thousands.
I don't understand the desire to play the small venues.
Then again the tour is for them and not us, so I suppose they want to play the cool niche places and not the cookie cutter arenas. Maybe I'm just p/o'ed that I didn't get a ticket
