夏季巡演从原本的The American Band Tour改名为Farmers Insurance Presents “Changed Tour”
貌似是多了赞助商

www不.准rascalflatts吞.com/story/news/rascal-flatts-announce-2012-tour-name-change

现在巡演场次可真少

毕竟年纪大加上孩子还小要多照顾

于是一年比一年少

然后就永远排不上年度前25名了.......

我发现乡村歌手发行的Tour的DVD很少阿，流行的、摇滚的、嘻哈的歌手发行演唱会DVD都是家常便饭，就乡村歌手感觉很少发行，不是没有，是特别少。

因为乡村基本每年都在巡演。。。。。所以乡村歌迷对DVD的需求少吧

嗯 真的很少 而且大都是例行性小规模巡演
不像流行等其他领域都是几年一度的大型巡演

每年巡演也只是在美国本土阿，也只能说美国本土的乡村迷没需求，流氓好像一张正式的DVD都没发行过，可是流氓这样的在美国以外应该还是有很大受众面的吧，当然和百搭的Taylor Swift相比肯定还是差了些，这小妮子开的Tour不多已经有2张现场DVD了吧。

流氓发过一张DVD的 2003年发的吧 然后NOTHING LIKE THIS的时候有电视演唱会 所以也相当于一张DVD了 只是没刻录下来 希望再出一张吧 像我们这样的只能指望DVD了

Taylor的DVD有三张 一张最近发的tour DVD 一张纪录片 一张CMT Crossroads的
感觉乡村有点资历的歌手都不太常出演唱会DVD的 或许是想说销量也不会多好所以不出吧

比起那些靠绚丽舞台、靠助唱嘉宾、靠各种花活来吸引眼球的流行或嘻哈类歌手的演唱会，乡村歌手的现场都是原原本本的唱歌，没那么多花架子，对于真正能够欣赏欧美音乐的乐迷来说，乡村歌手更还原音乐本身，流氓的那种短小精悍的现场看过一些，真挺不错的。
当然这也可能是过于单调而导致发行也不会有好的销量的原因之一，所以也就索性不出了。

乡村歌手的演唱会的确成本都很低的 就我知道的艺人成本最高的应该是CARRIE 她的PLAY ON TOUR里的一辆道具车花了足足100万美元的成本
的确乡村歌出DVD的话 销量不会很好 主要原因还是觉得巡演太多 粉丝每年都有机会去看一场演唱会 比起买DVD在家看真是爽多了 廉价的舞台布置也会让人觉得有些单调 基本上很多乡村歌手都是一件十几二十美元的短袖衬衫唱完全场（当然TS和CU除外）演唱会本身就很少有看点 出DVD就显得更瞎眼了

哦 就是之前在ACM Awards开场的那辆车子是吗?

ACM我就不知道 没看她表演。。

喔 我记得去年还前年的开场就是她唱Songs Like This的那次后面摆辆红车
或是CMA吧
