I thought I initially saw many more dates for that tour all around the country but the website only shows me the Greek Theater and the Anaheim shows. Maybe because it knows I'm in LA? How much of that tour has been confirmed from your side?
Anyway, I wasn't even talking about eating on the road - which is always a challenge. Yes, Trader Joes is still a good bet and they're in many cities now. Whole Foods - now owned by Amazon - is the more expensive version but also all over the country. I'd say in recent years the availability of healthier food has improved. But if your tour bus stops at a Cracker Barrel and you ask what the "vegetable of the day" is, the answer may still be "macaroni and cheese". (True story!)
What I was referring to is the issue of avoiding Covid. Nobody can afford to get sick while on tour with such a large group of people so hopefully the tour and all participants will be taking the proper precautions. It seems like every traveling production is dealing with this differently so just be careful.
The other thing to watch for, IMO, since it's a collection of 80s bands, is drug and alcohol trouble. I'm sure several of the original surviving participants will have been through rehab of some sort or another. But it's tricky to stay on the wagon if during your heyday you did the opposite - and now here you are touring again with some of your same original troublemakers. Ha! No shade on these folks, not everybody had those problems and I congratulate those who did for getting through it. Just hope everybody behaves and can keep it together.
