“We’re going to play sort of like what we had done before, when we’ve played a full album, and then extra tracks,”

Guitarist Rick Nielsen tells the Las Vegas Review-Journal,

“We’re going to try to do that in Vegas. We can play the first album, the second album, third album and fourth album over a four-night stand.”

and continued,

“We have so many other shows that we’ve scheduled and rescheduled, and scheduled, I don’t know exactly what can be worked out,”

and added,

“That’s all stuff that is backed up, moving, and has been going on for about two years now. It’s like, I know what year it is, but sometimes I’m not sure (laughs). I just want to get onstage and play. We will make it special, that I can promise.”
