There was a long interview with Steve very recently where he mentioned filming the next part of the tour or something like that.

Can you share that interview?

Next part of the tour...2020 leg? Hmm, I thought they would use recordings from 2018/2019 legs. They probably think the RIR live stream is good enough to be representative for 2018/2019 setlist, so that's why they will film the 2020 leg - I'm ok with that (especially if they change something in the setlist).

Would make sense if they filmed something next year, get the 17th album out and hold off releasing a legacy package till later on

I can't be bothered to listen to all of that, has anyone got a time for the mention of new live recordings?

Poto · Dec 30, 2019

31 minutes.

So the album is coming out after the LOTB tour?

KidInTheDark666 · Dec 30, 2019

Most likely.

Trevoire · Dec 30, 2019

That's our assumption.

Randalf · Dec 30, 2019

Most likely, yes.

I guess we can at least rule out the option of the album being released before LOTB tour by now.

So, all things considered, I hope and I believe they'll release it after the LOTB tour. I mean, they're not getting any younger. I wouldn't be surprised if they announce it after the tour!

(Yes, I'm being bit of a jerk here)

It still beats me how anybody actually believed there would be a new album before the tour.

Because it was recorded before they announced the third leg.

Probably. The other options are before the tour or during the tour. And I think the most likely scenario is after.

When the 3rd leg was announced, I was worried we might not get a new album until 2021 so regardless of when it's released, it's nice to know that it will most likely happen next year.

We still do not have proof for this.

The evidence is pretty much undeniable. Especially considering Shirleys post about a "not so secret project" (i.e. it's not been announced but we all know it happened)
