BTW, when you are a supposed major act on a major tour, the failure to sell out consistently in these arenas is a disastrous for the band. This is because so much money is spent up front and there is so much overhead cost that the first 60%-70% of the gross goes right to expenses before the band even sees a penny.

The first time I caught their act was at a glorified beer tent at the Iowa State Fair. We were at the fair this weekend. Some of the beer tents were PACKED! I'll bet ya they wouldn't have minded a crowd that big! If they had any sense they would lose the sow and go back out on the beer tent tour and suck up and try to get their base back.
