I took it to mean the full 2008-13 adventure but I guess we will find out soon enough.
Seems to me that the title has a certain sense of finality to it .....

Re ' finality' my expectations about seeing Leonard live again are about as low as they were 10 years ago !

Misinformation i suppose , though if true I like the ticket price of 13 euros!
Meanwhile I loved a uk tv series from about 10 years ago in which ' controversial' uk art critic ' Brian Sewell' retraced the typical 17th/18th century 'grand tours'.
I find very funny as well as informative and it's on you tube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67LlV3Sn2ho

meglos2000: no dvd, this is an audio release.
jerry: this will not be a studio album
rike: very misleading advertising indeed. This Lübeck night is just another local tribute concert or some kind of a performance based on Leonard's songs.

While any new album is good news and the cover art is amusing, it is hard to imagine what yet another live album of the 2008-13 tour is going to add to Live in London, Songs from the Road, Live in Dublin and the thousands of high-quality fan videos. But I will hope that the surprises that Jarkko alludes to are indeed surprising.

I'd agree with you there (even 20 years ago for that matter) but a lot of more recent fans don't know what it was like in the 'wilderness' years and talk of a new album of any sort automatically seems to lead to speculation about a new tour in some quarters. Personally I expect to be living on memories and live recordings where concerts are concerned but I would dearly love to be proved wrong.
