Package tour update: Collective Soul / Live / Blues Traveler

As predicted here, it appears the Live / Collective Soul / Blues Traveler package tour is on. Live Daily has the full set of dates; the tour starts July 4 at Red Rocks near Denver (with Blues Traveler headlining), and ends August 17 at Chastain Park Amphitheater in Atlanta with Collective Soul headlining.

Live, Collective Soul, and the Counting Crows toured minor-league ballparks last summer. Counting Crows have now graduated to the opening slot on the summer Maroon 5 tour.
Blues Traveler released a pseudo-greatest hits album last fall consisting of re-recorded, semi-acoustic versions of all their hits. Live have a new album called Radiant Sea which is mostly live tracks, with a couple of new studio tracks tacked on; their last proper album was 2006's Songs from Black Mountain. Collective Soul's 2007 Target-only album Afterwords is still getting a pretty big push at Target, at least the ones I go to in Atlanta. It features the single "Hollywood," which is a pretty good little song.

As with all Collective Soul songs, it sounds a bit like a robot helped write it (or at least produced), but that's part of the CS charm for me.
