If Jeff does do a US tour (which I hope he does) what size venues do you think would be best for him. Is there a massive pent up demand for a stadium tour or would a selection of smaller venues be better?

He could probably sell out quite a few shows in buildings like that.

I agree with Chippa and BSJ about the size of venues Jeff can fill here. And yes, that size suits me fine too!!

He is welcome to test the waters here in the southeast, say in Atlanta or Nashville!

I just have hard time trusting that our fellow 'merikans won't just opt to stay home and watch 'Merika's Got Talent instead

If Jeff does do a US tour (which I hope he does) what size venues do you think would be best for him. Is there a massive pent up demand for a stadium tour or would a selection of smaller venues be better? I think a series of well-chosen medium-sized venues in different locations around the country would fill up and sell out. People might be willing to drive a couple of hours to see an ELO concert, but going clear across the country to the coasts might be too expensive. If the venues are within a couple of hours of several cities, those would be the best, in my opinion, and they might be able to play 20 or more shows, if that's feasible for them. I would like to make a plug for the Central North Carolina area, for example, where we have a number of venues with a capacity of 15,000-20,000+, which would be a good size for ELO, (not sure if the spaceship would fit in all of them, though). Team Jeff, if you are reading this - I would highly recommend Walnut Creek -Coastal Carolina Amphitheater (outdoor, partially covered) in Raleigh; PNC Arena in Raleigh; the Dean Smith Center in Chapel Hill; and the Greensboro Coliseum (in Greensboro, of course). These venues are all within a 1.5 hour drive one from another and draw spectators from numerous communities in the area. PLEEEEEASE!!! I might be able to make it to Atlanta or DC depending on the dates, but that might be a bit iffy and a bit tricky....

I'd love to see ELO in a smaller more intimate venue that holds around 5000. I loved Wembley but I was disappointed with our seats, even though they cost an arm and a leg,we were still a fair way away and had to rely on the screens to see what was happening on stage.

I got a couple from my doctor to enable me to fly to Hawaii. It just takes that terrible fear away and makes you a little sleepy too.

The screens make it appear as if he's preforming elsewhere. But, they do serve a purpose.
