Time line might be tight with the tour coming up ... And Andy releasing his solo album? They have a 2 month gap between USA Leg 1 and leg 2...Unless they don't add any European or other non US and UK gigs?

Colour me sceptical, but I am dubious about the full story behind this - why release info on this in snippets of conversation to a tabloid paper instead of via official band channels?

My guess is it's the before mentioned Halloween album and I would argue that October 31, qualifies for "end of year". The only problem I see is DD time and the fact that 2023 might turn to 2024 before they realize it.

The only problem I see is DD time and the fact that 2023 might turn to 2024 before they realize it. My thinking too. Wouldn’t be a shock if AT contributed a few guitar tracks. They’ve told us they are doing a Halloween record, we just weren’t sure if it was live or studio. Seems it’s a studio release, but they can perhaps use some of the footage they got from the gigs to help promote it? It’s an interesting and risky idea. It could generate a hit or be an absolute car crash.

What this tells me is that DD with AT cannot create new original music but are happy to record covers
Or that perhaps
SLB & AT will finish off reportage simply coz the others do not wish to work with AT (based on past experiences) and somehow once completed it’ll be announced that this is a surprise gift to the faithful and patient fans I say this coz if they were to announce we’re completing the R project and for whatever reason that doesn’t happen, there’s no explaining of a third unworkable gulf situation I know that that’s what contracts are for (completing projects) yet that initial reunion contract was 2 LPs with Sony and that contract was broken, wasn’t it
Dunno 🤔 but it’s hard to think that only SLB and AT will work on a covers DD LP and not the other members

How could 2 members record a DD album? It’s just remote working, in between the your legs JT happy to be home with his wife I imagine

I had a feeling they would work on one last project together. The cat is out of the bag so I suspect we’ll get more info in the coming days and weeks.

The most likely thing is this Hallowe'en album they were talking about (which I hoped that they would forget about), it makes sense with this discussion about some covers. And given AT's illness it perhaps makes sense to do covers and/or reworkings with time a potential constraint.
AT doing his thing in Ibiza also makes sense given the limitations on his ability to travel.
I also think it's likely to be just a track or two rather than for the whole album.

I guess that this will help a bad selling tour
