It's about time -- been waiting for months for this!

There had been some talk about doing a tour... in fact Yoshi's in Oakland CA put up a few dates in November and then soon after pulled them with a "cancelled due to scheduling conflict" notice. No mention in the Billboard article about any live playing. I hope they do...

Thanks for posting this link. I was wondering when we were going to be able to get our hands on those recordings. Hopefully Michael will decide soon.

And did you happen to check out the video that's part of that story? It's Michael performing What a Fool Believes on the Tonight Show in 1985 with Robben on guitar. I knew they'd known each other for a long time but didn't realize it had been that long.

No, I missed that link... I'll have to watch that vid.

I really liked the collabs between Robben & Michael on Supernatural and have been looking forward to this project since I first heard about that.
