Raine throws us a Curve... a tour maybe?

One thing I hope we can accomplish is keeping a nightly Q&A log and post it here

Seems cool, but what worries me is the mention of a limited-cities tour. To me this makes it sound like southern Ontario, Quebec, Vancouver, and Calgary, with the prairies being skipped. I really hope there is a show in Regina or Saskatoon as I can make it.

I think the Urban Grind March/April tour was also considered "limited," and that covered 12 cities across Canada plus 8 in the US. But, I'm expecting more like 6 to 8 cities for this tour.

I'll be sitting this one out (unless they include Los Angeles, but that seems very unlikely). Too bad, I've wanted to see them play an acoustic set forever. Given the town hall Q&A format of the shows, I can see why they would stick to the metropolitan areas with the largest/strongest fanbase... but while they have the songs rehearsed and ready to play acoustically, too bad they didn't decide to do a larger tour with it and just save the Q&A part of it for the cities that can support it.

I never noticed the "unplugged" part.

Very exciting stuff! Given the tour is unplugged, the included artwork, and the fact that it's in celebration of 20 years since the release of Naveed, I have a theory that the track is going to be a studio release of the Sarah Slean "Julia" arrangement that was revived during the Urban Grind tour.

Hoping they do London On, but I'm willing to travel a bit. Nice part about living here is it will definitely be somewhere close. I imagine it's going to be a bit stressful for our brothers and sisters in rural Canada and the U.S until the dates and locations are released.

Well i'm an european fan then is hard for me travel to the US! :-( the hype is for the track i really don't know what song can be! Maybe an unreleased track from Naveed?

This is going to take a giant bite out of my student loans; don't care though.

[Flynner]

It's christmas eve and no email lol I wonder if we're still going to get the exclusive track before Christmas

[xjsb125]

I was thinking the same thing, haha. I'll poke someone and see what the story is.

[Flynner]

The OLP twitter account tweeted that our stockings will be filled tomorrow!

[FireGX]

I got the email already! Acoustic Naveed!! It sounds absolutely amazing

[Tinman]

The track is great. Wonder if they'll release more/CD to go with the tour. I may be taking a road trip to wherever the hell they're going.

[OLPManiac]

Guys i don't know you but i had chills for the whole song! It's simply amazing! I don't know how i can describe the song really! I wish that we can have other tracks by the band in this way...i will also buy a CD with this songs! Damn it's amazing!
PS Merry christmas to all the forum!

[DG]

It's got a cool celtic flare to it almost.

I fucking love it.

[astute_99]

I love the track, it's brilliant. If this is just a taste of what's to come with some of these unplugged performances, I might be more excited than I've been in a long time!

[Mr. Sixkiller]

Can someone send me the track? I'm on the mailing list but never received it :S

[gibbits]

I also missed out - maybe I signed up too late at night? Anyone PM me?

[Tinman]

I think its safe if we just link it here?

This really works for the song. Originally, Naveed was supposed to have a lot of middle eastern musical influences, but the band felt that they couldn't do the culture/style justice, so they cut a lot of it (but you can still catch some of of the influencein some of their live stuff from the era: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeaOZOxGTbc )

I think this song in particular is really suited for this particular style. Not the first time it's been done unplugged (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5sRpSHqDPo), but I actually think this 2013 is my favorite rendition, and while Raine might have lost some of the edge in his voice, there's something to say for what they pulled together.

[Mr. Sixkiller]

Thank you!

[gibbits]

Thanks!
