I didnt buy a ticket. I remember when I saw the ad for the concert though. I was totally blown away as TD was playing a TINY venue in Chicago. Way waaaay smaller than their last venue. In the very late '80s, they played a 20,000 seater, by 1992, 1500 seats, and in 2001 under 1000 seats. Truly a band with a collapsing fan base.

You've said it before. TD also said on their webpage (at the time) 'Please note this is a more club orientated tour with smaller venues (than) usual, capacities will go from 600-1800 people)'.
It's been interesting to read that TD have played to half full halls through out their career, including the RAH in 1976 and the UK tour of 1986.

TD's quote is just as laughable as Spinal Tap's response to why are they playing smaller gigs. Interviewer, "is Spinal Tap less popular now?" Response, "No, our audience is more selective."

A band that plays a 20,000 seater and then switches to a 1000 seater would have their tickets snapped up in a heart beat. Sold out gig immediately. Example, the Rolling Stones have played clubs in Chicago on a few occasions. FORGET about getting tickets to those gigs. Just dont even try. 1000 tickets gone in 1 minute.

TD's tickets were available weeks after they went on sale.

They played smaller venues because that was the appropriate size for their audience. There is nothing wrong with that.

One last point, TD's gig in 1992 was downsized a few weeks before the show. The amount of tickets sold in 1992 would have had them play to a 50% empty venue so they moved it to a smaller place (Vic Theatre).

who's arguing about it?...I just said that's what TD's statment was
I have no doubt that TD's fan base is far far smaller than it used to be...that's a no brainer.

I won't mention the cancelled 2002 date then mate

[Beaubourg]

I had tix for both the Boston show and Alexandria, VA.
They were playing for free at Uncasville (that's the Mohegan Sun Casino). Would have been huge exposure for them, but alas.

The Boston gig actually had two shows - one early evening, the other later. Shame, because it was a jazz club that had coctail tables. Probably maxed out at maybe 200. Too good to be true.

It looks like some of the venues went as far as printing flyers for it, as well as some possible fakes:

I was about to till I heard the news.. at the same flyer location you are showing. Fun venue but a tad small. That flyer would look nice in my music room..

[Laserdisc Dream]

I was ready to go see tangerine dream concert in Denver since I got the News its was cancelled.
