I think it was always a maybe. As far as I can recollect Paul always said he would like to tour Graceland again with the original musicians if it could be arranged. Maybe some of the media put a different interpretation on his words. Hopefully it will happen ,at least in South Africa.
Paul is not bored, he gives Joe Berlinger all the space to talk about the film. Joe is the one who made it. Paul is there to support him.
It was indeed always a maybe about the tour, Paul never confirmed the tour. Hope it will happen, SA will probably be the easiest way to get the Graceland tourband members together.
I think it is not that easy to get together this band again. Sure Bakithi and Tony are in Pauls band, but others might have stopped making music, some have died (Miriam) and some are very Old now.
I do not think that tour would work without LBM and Hugh Masekela. He must invite complete new musicians/bands.
I do not think that this will happen as a tour. Maybe a special concert in summer - but then again, why bring together so many people from South Africa for 1 concert only.
Paul never seems comfortable when interviewed by females of the "hello" magazine generation. He also has to look at a life size photo of topless muscle laden "fassbander" I guess hes thinking "help! I´m more than a D list celebrity! get me out of here!"
LBM has indeed a busy tour schedule, but there seems to be space after May. So maybe in July or August they could make it happen in SA. I think a world tour will be more problematic, as indeed some members have reached a respectful age.
LOL Scaaty, the muscle laden ´fassbander´ is indeed very strongly represented.
