There's the rub, you see. Nobody schedules "tour stops". What they (promoters, agents, management) aim for is the best possible routing with the least overheads, also bearing in mind the Unions' demands for adequate breaks and the Band's fondness for superior bed linen, 5 star pillowing and TVs permanently switched to Fox News, as they have been in the Pentagon for the past 8 years.
The idea is to get the band through as many shows as possible in as sensible a time as possible for as much moolah as possible, in a manner which improves their bank balances without harming their (let's be fair, ageing) health - though BB King doesn't complain so we won't either.
Oh yes, and every local promoter wants us for Saturday night, did I mention that? So it's nothing personal if the City of Brotherly Love and Liberty Bell gets passed by this time. I personally loved it last time and hope it is not too long before we get back.
And after all, Philadelphia 2007 is still a great deal more recent than
many of the places in the world that'd quite like to have us visit.
