Woah - thursday the 27th, Florence, Friday the 28th is the kick off date of Watt's tour in Ballard, WA. http://hootpage.com/flyers/flyers_watt_2012_tour/watt_flyer_120928.pdf

Best hope for good airport connections.

I noticed that. He's a machine!!

Yeah, i was looking at Watt's webpage and that tour schedule is truly nuts. He's got several 400+ mile drives between gigs with no days off.

At least from Italy to Seattle he's got the time change working in the right direction.

We're just back in the hotel from the Milan gig. Sad, is Italian audience always this dead? No pit, no dancing, except with dog and the passenger. Well, the advantage for us was we had a great spot and all the space to dance, being in a outdoor tadium for I think 20.000, while maybe 2.000 people were present. More or less the same setlist as the last gigs, passenger, burn, gun, sex and money and ready to die not from the songs of the stooges from the 70's (or kill city).

The stooges were great. Iggy announced a song from his new album ready to die. Ego! However much it rocked, the stooges seem on their last legs. Littery I mean, Mike stumbled of the stage, iggy fell two times. Well we enjoyed the show a lot, it was worth the flight from amsterdam. Well there are worse places to be than milan in summer.

Glad you had a good time Lucas.
I know what you mean about the Stooges being on their last legs though - I mean, full marks for Iggy's insanely superhuman energy, but surely they can't keep going with this sort of show for very much longer. Iggy's serious limp and hip problems are really bad these days, Watt's knee has been causing him severe hassle for some years now, Scotty is totally out of action for live shows. Only JW and Steve Mackay seem anything like 100% fit (and Larry/Toby, but he's a bit younger...)
Sadly, age and injuries are finally catching up with the Stooges.
Cheers,
Richard
