    Yikes. Just read some articles about it. Makes me wonder if it’s beyond just the sales bit. Hope they are okay. That’s a lot of dates to up and cancel. I was surprised they were doing arenas after I saw them at a midsize amphitheater.

    Definitely hoping for good health.  appears to be an overestimation of the market.  It's a tough pill to swallow when a band realizes they are now a "theater" band instead of an "arena" band.  Seen it happen to countless acts.

    Amphitheatre I saw them at has a 12,000 person capacity. It was not sold out but had to be 9-10 K in attendance. Should have just booked that again.

    isnt that when you go out on double/tripple bill tours. 

    Like KISS with Aerosmith etc

    Is this like in The Black Crowes book when they had to play smaller places, but wanted to PR it as playing smaller intimate places for the fans.

    They overshot it for sure, they won't be the last.

    They split from their management.

    I wish they would go back to being a duo like they started. If they played some small theaters and played stuff from Rubber Factory and Thickfreakness I would gladly pay whatever it cost to see that.

    Same. Those shows were great. A backing band in an arena? No thx.

    I picked up a used copy of Chulahoma today at the record store. Love that old school blues sound on it.
