On January 7, Yellowcard went to the Middle East to do a USO tour. The group went to Kuwait as originally planned but could not get into Iraq because of President Bush arriving and canceling all flights there. The band released a live album on January 22, 2008, titled iTunes Live from Las Vegas at the Palms . It was recorded during their tour with Blue October in 2007. The band canceled several European shows in January due to drummer Longineu Parsons taking a couple months off to spend time with his grandmother, who raised him and whose health was failing. The band was originally scheduled to headline a spring tour with All Time Low , but All Time Low dropped out to take part in the Alternative Press spring tour. They were then replaced by MxPx , who canceled a few weeks later. Yellowcard then went on an acoustic tour with The Spill Canvas , Secondhand Serenade , PlayRadioPlay! , and Treaty of Paris .
