The Waterboys will play a short Book Of Lightning tour of North America in November. These will be full band shows, featuring the same line-up as at all this year’s European concerts: Mike Scott, Steve Wickham, Richard Naiff, Mark Smith & Damon Wilson. This is the first Waterboys tour of North America since 2003, and their first full band shows since 2001. Tickets are not on sale yet, but the moment we have the box office details we’ll let you know. The dates are:

Nov 1: Berklee Theatre, BOSTON
Nov 2: Webster Hall, NEW YORK CITY
Nov 3: Keswick Theatre, GLENSIDE (nr Philadelphia), PA
Nov 5: The Music Hall, TORONTO
Nov 6: Park West, CHICAGO

Clare Burson (www.myspace.com/clareburson) will open the shows at Glenside and New York. Great Aunt Ida (www.myspace.com/greatauntida), the Vancouver band who played on the song Sustain on Book Of Lightning, will open at Toronto, Seattle, Vancouver, Portland and San Francisco. Both acts are playing at the personal invitation of Mike Scott. There will be no support act in Boston or Chicago.

WTF...no LA dates?!

Man, I wish they got even close to me.

There's a Great Aunt Ida track on volume III of Terminal City Nutcluster.

Edit: but the link is long dead

nice - even a weekend

They've got some better material to showcase from the new album than on the last few.

Still haven't disliked any Waterboys album, but stuff like Universal Hall and Dream Harder I definitely like less.

Rock In A Weary Land is my favorite from them.

I might have to hit up that "nr Philadelphia" date.

for a change, missy, for a change.

I have this, right? (scrambles to check...)

I'm so at the Portland show. A friend from Atlanta might even fly out to see this one.
