I was told that any profit from tours goes to DD 100 percent! Record companies do not get a penny.. So the above statement makes no sense! They are touring Australia for festival dates and they do have their own shows their, South Korea, and other places they have not played in so long! Would be cool if they play Lebanon some day! If this IS, in fact, the case you would think Sony would be DESPERATELY plugging RCM to recoup losses...

This is a naive statement. No band gets 100% of tour revenue. There's too many hands in the pot (promoters, managers, crew, travel, facilities, etc). What's left over after expenses goes to the band in the form of net profit. Record companies don't care how they get paid back so long as they get paid back. Shows are the easiest way to do this. So a portion of what's left over goes to the label until its paid off. I'm not saying this applies to DD, but that's a pretty standard deal. Simon said on Stern (I believe) that they haven't had to pay the label back via touring "yet" and in saying that suggested that it was a possibility. This could be what DD are doing w/ all of these one-off shows...

I am unsure why you consider the Aus/NZ/Asia dates "one off shows". It's a leg of a (probable) world tour. The route the band are taking in the above areas is a standard tour path.
However, I read elsewhere that the recently announced Atlanta date may be the start of "the tour".

When shows are announced one at a time (or 2-3 at a time) it isn't considered a tour. A tour includes multiple dates announced at once. That's just industry speak...it doesn't really matter. Call it whatever you want...the band owes the label money and one-offs, tours, or even private parties are probably the quickest way to pay it back. I'm psyched that an "official" tour will be announced soon!

Everything I've seen suggests these are a series of one-off shows rather than a full-blown tour. And assuming they have a standard recording contract, they are obligated to pay back Epic for recording costs (since RCM didn't turn a profit) so these shows could be fulfilling that obligation... Have you seen something besides what is being reported/released by dd.com? Does it even matter that the shows that have been announced haven't been announced as a tour?
