I can’t tell if these venue sizes are ambitious or not. This “reunion” has basically been on the road since 2007 and having James Iha back doesn’t seem to be important enough to have them jump back to arenas. Only playing from their first five albums is a plus though.
Genuine question, why do you care about her involvement. She barely played on any of their first 5 records, didn't contribute to songwriting, etc. She was basically just part of the "look". Unless you're dying to hear "Daydream" live or something, can't see why she's all that important.
I mean she’s the original bass player through the first five albums. So a full original member tour would be cool. And technically the only record she didn’t play much on is Siamese Dream from what I remember/have read. But my comment was semi-sarcastic anyway!
