Tour brought to and end - for now...
Published 1997-06-01
"This is the last show of the tour - at least for a while". That was Bruce's only
comment at the second show in Paris on May 26 in regard to whether the Solo Acoustic
Tour was over or not. Inside sources have said it was definitely the last show of the entire
tour, but Bruce's words leave a door open. Perhaps a theory is that he will take a look at the
recordings he may (or may not) have been doing in the spring and decide if they are worth
building a record and a new tour on. If not, then it's not unthinkable that he's prepared to
continue the Tom Joad tour until he has thought up a new concept to replace it. The last few
years have seen him break with the old pattern of touring and then hibernating for a long
time. As if he really wants to be more visible to his fans. Even if it means stretching a tour
concept for an indefinite period of time.
However, at the moment there are no concrete news. Rumors circulate about an album and
a new tour by late this year. But there are always rumors of that.
