Toured Quotations

When I moved to Seattle in fourth grade, I joined the Seattle Girls' Choir. It's a world-class choir, and we competed, toured Europe, and went and sang at the Vatican, so it was a really awesome experience to have that young.

For 'The Journal of Finn Reardon,' I traveled to New York City and walked the streets where Finn and his friends would have lived, worked, and played. I visited the Tenement Museum on Orchard Street and toured an actual flat in which families like Finn's might have lived.

I just toured around looking for fractals, and when I found something that had a scaling geometry, I would ask the folks what was going on - why they had made it that way.

One of the great bands we opened up for was Priest back in '89. That was really great because at that time we had never met them, never toured with them before. They were a big influence on Slayer, so to open up for them was really cool.

I've actually traveled quite a bit with various authors. Judith Miller and I toured the highlands in Scotland with Liz Curtis Higgs, and that was incredible fun. However, I love going with my husband, who - although he is not a writer per se, he is a historian and can give me a lot of insight on various historical locations.

I toured with Skrillex, did an HBO commercial with Diplo. In the hip hop movement, I was the first artist Travis Scott ever featured with before he blew up. I had the songs with Chris Brown and Tyga. I've worked with some of the biggest artists in the world.

I think having toured the world and seeing many places, I've just been blown away by how we've really scarred our home. I'm as guilty as the next person if not more so. I travel a lot. The damage we do to our planet is huge.

I toured with Lady Gaga, and her choreographer is incredibly talented and develops some crazy routines. Lady Gaga is very involved in the dancing, too, and she always wants to have creative input. I had an incredible time with her!

Back in '93 and '94, when 'Dookie' was being made, my dad built this tour bus for us, out of a bookmobile. We toured in it for the first year. It was a really bad idea, by the way.

It's hard to imagine the whole punk movement without The Velvet Underground. I toured with them when they did their reunion tour, and no one sounds like that; they are a very unique-sounding band.

The first time I toured with the 'Large Band' in 1988, I got so tired. If I just stood still anywhere, I could go to sleep. I was that tired. But I had to perform. And I did, and after that tour, I was much less fretful about going out onstage.

She toured nationally with Jimmy Dean when he was playing music instead of making sausage. She's still got it, too.

Basically when I went there, we toured the campus, I sat down and talked with Bob Stoops, Coach Wyatt let me sit in on a receivers meeting, then we went out to the field. Everything just clicked for me and I knew it was the right fit for me to be at Oklahoma, get my skills down and hopefully take the step to the next level.

We toured the winery. That was really interesting, and I think almost all of the ladies bought a bottle of wine.

We toured an area of south Louisiana not seen on CNN that is literally cut off from the rest of the world.

I think it is helpful having a history other than playing music. We've toured a lot together, hung out a lot. So, we knew each other pretty well before we ever got together, which is important. You could probably call on the greatest studio musicians in the world and it doesn't mean they can work together.

I was born in Detroit, then shortly after I was born, I went on the road with my mother, who performed with Minsky's, a variety show that toured around the U.S. doing five shows a day.

I went on tour with Beyonce when I was in Rich Girl and that was... something I will tell my kids for years and years and years to come. That's like saying, 'I toured with Michael Jackson.' That will be something I will forever cherish.

My mother worked in the old Minsky's troupe, which toured the country in the golden age of burlesque theatre.

I still feel very close to the people I wrote shows with and some of the people I toured with. I feel very close to them, like a family or like college friends who you know and who have seen you at your worst and you spend 14 hours driving a van all piled on top of each other.

We never toured (together) in the past and I am looking forward to this. I think it's going to be a very powerful show. It's probably one of the most compatible bills that we've ever been on as far as far as music styles.

We have some items in the museum that were donated directly by Wolf's family, ... Even though he moved to Chicago, he still returned to Clay County to hunt and fish. We have Wolf's personal hunting rifle on display, as well as unpublished photographs and even Wolf's passport from when he toured Europe and the UK. Basically, we have the museum structured to tell Wolf's story -- from his beginnings in White Station until his death in 1976. It's a tribute to his life.

When my dad toured in '91, I think my first gig properly was the Tokyo Dome, 50,000 people indoors. That was pretty scary. I was 12, or 13.

We moved to New York as . . . a group of friends who had just graduated from college. We never really did it very seriously, never actually toured or put much effort into the business side of being in a band. We're certainly all pathetically inept at promoting ourselves.

We've only toured in one-month chunks, ... We started in November, then we took Christmas off, then we started again in January, and we took some time in February. And then we did a little bit in March, and then we had a bit of time off this summer. The longest break we had, the first time we went home, was for June and July, and then we went back out again in August, and we'll be done at the end of October.

I've toured the world with David Foster and all kinds of different people. It's been a great ride, and I don't think it's about to stop any time soon.

I've toured the U.S. every single year and I've put a record out every single year whether it was on a major label or not; that doesn't make any difference to me.

It was very interesting, and we went to Germany and we toured Germany like we were a German band in 1985.

A couple of years earlier, I toured with Ringo Starr and played the House of Blues in Chicago. I remembered being struck by how (well-run) it was.

This album really has to make a statement. We've toured for 18 months. Now we have a brand name. Now we know each other as a band. The first album was just us together at home, a spontaneous product. Now it's time to make that record.

I toured the Gulf Coast region after the storms and the devastation was absolutely overwhelming; television pictures did not do it justice. Now, six months out, it is critical to continue fundraising so that the destroyed areas can be rebuilt. With the help of generous celebrities...we hope to raise significant dollars for the Operation Home Delivery Fund.

I toured the area this morning with (House Speaker) Dennis Hastert, ... Corn is about what you'd expect. You peel one husk, and there are maybe four or five kernels. You peel another, and there is no ear at all. You peel a third, and maybe two-thirds of the kernels are there. We'll have a better handle on what the yields are once harvest gets underway.

I toured in Europe first, before I did ANY touring in the US. It was with Jimmy Nail and others.

I toured in Europe first, before I did any touring in the U.S. It was with Jimmy Nail and others.

I toured BU not even knowing they were going to have a girls' team. Just because it was, well, you know, BU.

I toured a lot in the U.K. and Europe solo for a lack of funds, really. I left people I'd been playing with for years at home, just because I couldn't afford it.

It rained like heck. We toured the farm in a van and sat on bales of hay in a barn and ate country food.

It's not our job to go and participate in this campaign. They're trying to sell the voters on something. We didn't know if we would oppose the bond or not. We actually conversed with doctor (Stan) Olson and toured twelve of the schools.

It's the first time they've toured in a while,

It's been a while. I haven't talked with any of the guys in WARRANT for about two years. I've done some shows on my own, just to keep my chops up, as they say. I've played here and there over the past year and a half. I haven't toured, seriously toured in well over a year though.

I have played a lot of cricket over the last 12 months and I feel that a rest would be beneficial for me at this stage of my career. I have toured regularly with England over the past ten years and this decision will also give me an opportunity to spend more time with my children.

I'm one of the guitar players in the band, and my brother is a drummer. We have two cousins in the band and the four of us started playing in 1968. We toured all over the Midwest and the deep south though 1981. It kind of morphed in the mid-80s into The Kentucky Headhunters.

If I look at someone like Sinatra, who toured until he was 80 and made 60 movies, that would be a great life to have.

I could hardly believe we got him, ... I mean, he knew Michael Bennett personally. He did A Chorus Line on Broadway. He has toured internationally with the show.

He (Armstrong) was like a little kid in a candy store while he toured the factory looking at the molds and watching the engineers work on computers. Lance is really a sophisticated bike guy who is thoroughly moved with the science behind the bikes.

The first time I toured the U.K. was in the early '90s with Billy Pilgrim, so I know how much the people there love music.

The concert is a part of their spring tour through East Tennessee and Virginia. Last year they toured and performed in Germany. They rotate between a stateside and international tour each year.
