    What? They didn't play the South? Why, I had no idea! Tell me more!

    Does anybody else know about this?

    Come on now, comparing the costs of playing shows in the south to playing shows in the middle east and china? that's stretching it a bit isn't it?

    well that is the obvious reason they are not playing shows in the South bottom line

    i have a hard time understanding how they made that much in Canada with some of those long drives

    people forget we are in the minority wanting shows in the south.. yeah they could get 1000 tenclubers but that is just 10% of what they need

    i wish they would come to the south and play maybe 3-6 cities and do it SF style and stay there 3 nights or so to cut the travel costs -- all in smaller venues

    I'm not disagreeing that cost has a huge thing to do with it. But comparing the cost of driving to the south, which is in the same country the band reside in, to shipping all of the equipment and buying plane tickets to farway lands isn't exactly justifiable.

    What part of they don't draw as well in the South don't you nitwits get? They skip you this tour, make you hungry again, then come back next tour to save the South. Kelly Curtis is their manager for a reason, because he is one of the best in the business.

    Pearl Jam could do it, and make money at it. The problem is they WOULDN'T MAKE ENOUGH MONEY! You are nowhere near America's greatest band if you can't play to a whole subsection of the United States. Plain and simple. It is the coastal bias. Lots of people on the coasts like them, so they are "America's" best band. Whateva. Play the fucking south and prove it.

    He has a point. Think about the Canadian tour in this light. Don't play there for a while, play in an off year and sell out venues like Hamilton and Kitchener. Do the same with the South, play there in '07 and get all the yankees to come down (and sell out Bumblefucky). Ching, ching!
