Question for those who follow the Manics on whole tours
How do you do this?? Its sort of amazing it can all come together....
I would not have a job if I decided to do something like that and there is no way I could tell my bosses what I was planning. Prob a good thing I live too far away to actually do this.... Please enlighten me Do you have jobs that allow you to take so many days off? Isn't it expensive to travel for 15+ days? Do you buy tickets for all the dates in advance or what? Do you book hotels for each evening? What does the band think? |

The nearest I have come to following a tour is two dates in 2007!

Well if about 80% - 90% of a tour counts...
Um, I have a regular job, nothing fancy or particularly flexible. Yes, it's expensive. Yep, bought in advance. The band don't mind, in fact I think they quite like seeing familiar faces on a regular basis. This, basically, or just do our usual method of "cram as many people as humanly possible into one room and hope housekeeping don't notice". |

Given the setlists it'd likely be enough to cover two prior tours worth of gigs anyway.
