As far as I have understood in the Rebelfreak1 post, this acoustic tour seem to be planned for real, now.
Personaly, I think I would not go for it.
The risk of it being boring is too too big ...
The songs of Stranger Come to Town are already quiet depressing (yes, I know ... Please don't throw stones at me
).
What I would love to see is Steve Harley on stage with 3 young lads, fresh, jumpy and energetic. A bass, a guitar, a drum. Rock, rock, rock !
It is very much the trend at the moment that confirmed stars play with youngsters. It would put the light on him as it is a creative and bold enough attitude.
(well ... Actually I must admit I would go and see this xxx acoustic tour as I love what Steve Harley does, depressing or fanciful ... But he deserves better).
