My impression was that Pete is bored because of events in his personal life, 
not necessarily by the idea of a tour.  Hopefully his boredom (and cynicism) 
will evaporate once they're on the road.

There should be lots of new faces in the audience this year, all of which 
want to hear The Greatest Hits, not some list of odd obscurities.  Thus, the 
show has to have the same Greatest Hits as last tour.  There will be some 
interesting old or new stuff in between.
