That poses a logistical nightmare to fans who want to see both shows. You now have to pay for both nights and foot the bill for a hotel room. Of course that's if you want to see both dates. That opens up problem number two. The second date of the show is so horribly low on star power. The first date has BRMC, Morrissey, Modest Mouse, PJ Harvey, Sonic Youth, and the list goes on. The second date has the Flaming Lips and (now I'm reaching) The Polyphonic Spree. Unless you live in NYC and LA, then you have The Pixies too. This was destined to fail. If it was a streamlined one day bill it would have done as well as last year's bill. -g-
