Tour Commentary

The 2003/04 tour was a strange one in the way that it was split in two parts, the division occurring with the release of the Dance Of Death album. The first part, funnily named "Give Me Ed... 'Til I'm Dead", was reminiscent of the Ed Hunter reunion tour as the set list was, with one exception, composed of old songs, some of them not having been played in many years. Bruce commented that "This tour is all about having fun as the name suggests" and the official explanation for it was that it was an appetiser before the release of the album. Only 'Wildest Dreams', from the forthcoming album, was played live as a preview of what the album was going to sound like.

Opening Bands

Opening bands for this tour were: Stray, Murderdolls, Arch Enemy, Funeral For A Friend, Dio and Motörhead.
