Godsmack Extend Summer Tour
GODSMACK Extends Summer Tour Again - July 5, 2007
Launch Radio Networks reports: GODSMACK has again extended its summer tour, with the new dates beginning on July 28 in Alpine, California and ending, at least for now, on August 22 in Syracuse, New York. As with the rest of the band's live work throughout the past year, GODSMACK will play a mix of indoor and outdoor shows in both smaller theatres and larger venues. Drummer Shannon Larkin told Launch he likes to play both, but gives the edge to theatres. "You know, both of them have their magic," he said. "For the drummer, for me, the theatre is the ultimate venue because I can almost see every face in the room, and there is truth to this magic feeling of a power coming off the crowd, an energy. But, you know, arenas, festivals, you know, it's that just looking at a sea of people, even though you can't see all their faces, it's still a different energy."
GODSMACK next plays on July 17 in Houston.
The band will issue a box set later this year to celebrate the band's 10th anniversary. The package will collect all four of the Boston quartet's studio albums, its acoustic EP "The Other Side" and a DVD.
GODSMACK is also slated to participate in a tribute concert for late BOSTON singer Brad Delp, who committed suicide in March. The concert will take place on August 19 at Boston's Bank of America Pavilion.

Godsmack absolutely ROCKED the Wiltern in L.A. July 31, 2007. I've always loved their music and their live show was even better than listening to a CD. What an extremely talented group of guys. And humble too. Sulley was very gracious to the crowd and expressed his appreciation for everyone coming out several times. Man is this a great group. I was absolutely amazed......these guys are the kind of fellas you just want to hang around with a shoot the breeze with after a show or any ol' time. I'll definitely keep an eye out for future local dates, though it would be really cool to see them perform in a home venue (Boston) then go gorge on some lobster....or gorge on lobster then see the show....either or...or both! ROCK ON GODSMACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
