I've been in love with this band since middle school (28 now, yikes) and saw them every time they came to Connnecticut which was every year up until a couple years ago. They finally came back in 2009 which was amazing, but hearing about and the Spiritual Machines and Clumsy shows has had me eagerly craving more OLP. I know tons of Our Lady Peace fans in the states and it would be sick of we got some cover to cover shows here too!
I don't know if I'm alone on this front, but I'm secretly hoping either this album or Naveed avoid the tour treatment. The SM and Clumsy shows were incredible - and I am selfish for feeling this way, maybe - but I almost want the mystique of one of those first four to remain intact.
And now with that said, I would totally go if it happened.
YOu know what would really be cool is OLP remastered Naveed for a 2014 release with the demos, some of the accoustic performances etc. Then tour for it as a 20th anniversary deal. That seems to be the new thing now a days also. Reissuing cd's on the 20th, 30th anniversary and touring behind it. Now that would be something. They have to have those old demos in a vault somewhere. The demo for Birdman and Julia was really much heavier then what was on the cd..

I would love to see Happiness. I have gotten to see many of the songs performed Live but some of the songs like Annie, Conseq., stealing babies, blister would sound different with Steve and I would be interested to see how he incorporates his style into the songs.
I saw the band perform Stealing Babies with Steve in 2002, but I bet these days if they played it he could really take the outro to a whole 'nother level.
