Over the past Alan Doyle and The Beautiful, Beautiful Band tours I have collected some of those social media and interviews I found interesting and created posts. These posts as a record of tours from the perspectives of Alan and those in the band continue to be some of my most visited posts for anyone wanting some photographs and information about what happened. I have also included some fan photographs.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I have. As always no copyright infringement intended.
Some words from Alan Doyle on his official social media accounts of Twitter, Facebook and Instagram...
Alan Doyle @alanthomasdoyle I remember looking at a mock up of this tour T-shirt late in 2017 very close to Christmas. We had just finished a long run on the spectacular CP holiday train in Western Canada and the amount of dates and shows and cities on the back of this T-shirt was exciting but intimidating.I remember looking at a mock up of this tour T-shirt late in 2017 very close to Christmas. 1 May, 2018
Alan Doyle @alanthomasdoyle Time flies. Here we are in the Home stretch of Leg 3 with the mighty Maritime shows left to go. Summer and Leg 4 will all be announced soon, but for now this feels like the Home stretch.Time flies. Here we are in the Home stretch of Leg 3 with the mighty Maritime shows left to go.

Alan Doyle @alanthomasdoyle With multiple gigs on The Rock Boat and a private here and there we’ve done over 70 shows this year. I’m grateful to everyone on this bus for working like dogs with smiles and laughs and hugs and love all along the way. 1 May, 2018

A Review...
The Great Dark Wonder an online music site and regular Alan Doyle and The Beautiful Beautiful Band concert goer wrote a really nice review for their online music site called 'Alan Doyle and The Fortunate Ones: Party in PA' published on their website greatdarkwonder.com.
I have included a paragraph about a final surprise encore song...
"....Taking their bows, and exiting the stage; the theatre lights started to flicker back to life and people started heading for the exits. And then came the biggest surprise of all; during the post-show commotion, not many people noticed Alan Doyle and his band sneaking back onto the stage. With the sudden loss of lighting, Alan launched into “I’ve Seen A Little,” and smiled a little after this successful ‘stealth operation’ completely “punk’d” the audience at The Sellersville Theater. Kudos to you, Alan, and the band, for the perfect execution of that manoeuvre. Like Catharine, Doyle was also a little under the weather on this particular night, yet maintained his incredible work ethic and commitment to the performance all evening. What a wonderful evening of live music in Sellersville with some of our favourite Newfoundland friends."
A Fan Photograph...
There were lots of awesome photographs share by fans of Alan Doyle and The Beautiful Beautiful Band, at meet and greets and of the venues on a variety of social media sites from this leg of the tour. I have included this one of the band on stage and shared by Alan Doyle on his official Twitter site.
Social Media From The Road...
Alan Doyle and Chris Trapper
Chris Trapper appeared with Alan Doyle on stage in Boston on the 29 April, 2018. Alan Doyle, Sean McCann and Chris Trapper wrote the song 'Sea of No Cares' for the album of the same name.
A lovely fan bootleg was shared on The Online Kitchen Party, A Great Big Sea Community Forum Facebook page of Alan and Chris singing together on stage.
A Set List...
I have included a screen shot of a set list shared on social media. It was interesting to read how many Great Big Sea songs were incorporated into this leg of the tour. While I enjoy hearing these songs and how Alan and the band have made them their own, there are other songs from Alan's previous albums l enjoy more such as 'Stay' and 'Sins of Saturday Night' from the 'So Let's Go' album and 'Break It Slow' and 'I've Seen A Little' from the 'Boy on Bridge' album for instance.
Tour poster...
I have included a copy of the 'The Come Out With Me Tour 2018'...The third leg poster.
