Sorry, it might have been asked before...


I am coming to Chicago, flying in from Germany and would really like to see JSS singing but he's not playing the east, right?

Thanks for helping me out!

Oh good. I'm so happy Chicago's getting the west this year. It has flip-flopped before and even last year it was east but 2015 it was west. I would've hated to think you flew all the way to Chicago from Germany and JSS wasn't there! But thrilled to hear Europeans are coming all the way to enjoy TSO. Did you get to catch them a few years ago when they made their Europe tours??

Hey danfromnj,

Do you know why John O'Reilly was replaced?  I'm no expert on drumming, but he seemed to do just fine back there twirling those sticks...

I'm seeing them in two days.

You are correct - O'Reilly was doing just fine. TSO never officially comments on why they let someone go, so there is no public answer to your question.
We're going to the Dec 17th show here in Tampa. Does anyone know of anything "special" planned to honor Paul O'Neill? Any tribute artists attending? Which group will be doing the show, East or West?

Thanks!

Haven't seen anything about a special thing planned, but if they were to do a special one-time event like they did for Pediford, I would guess the Tampa or the NJ Show would be the place for it.  Currently they are dedicating their performance of "Safest Way into Tomorrow" to him and are prompting the audience to hold up their phones.

West group. Dan answered the rest.
