you should have tried to get phish reunion hampton tickets. a three day show, at the mega mothership, all sold individually, at the same time, and all were gone in less than two minutes. i was offered $600 for my one night tickets at the venue. he showed me the 6 one hundred dollar bills and told me he would give me $2000 for all three right there. people and their tickets.
If someone offered me 600 for any bands tickets I would probably sell them on the spot. I can't imagine a show I would see for that much money.

it wasn't just the shows . . . it was the whole three day experience. the people, the planets, the possibilities. going to a concert and living within phish shows, are two totally different things.

why are they all terrible? All had hit pop songs. And I am sure Mumford and Sons will be around in 10 years. And radiohead has been around for much more than 10 years.

Due to a band having a hit =/= good band.

writing good pop songs does take a bit of talent. anybody can be shitty band like deerhunter though. I mean the first velvet underground album is filled with great pop songs just becuase they didn't sell well doesn't mean they weren't pop songs. same with the pixies "here comes your man" is a typical good pop song. no different than what foster the people are doing.

Look at Radiohead. somehow they got around it and instead of saying they suck people say oh their first album sucked. Nevermind it is better than their last 3 albums.

Not to get too nit-picky, but Radiohead played 930 after their 3rd album came out.

And were they warm-up for Teenage Fanclub after their 3rd album?
Telling me that so-so had a hit pop song is meaningless to me, given that I listen to on a very regular basis bands that have released several albums worth of great pop songs that IMHO are far superior to any of the bands you keep carrying on about. So why do these artist toil in near obscurity? And can you explain the popularity of Skrillex whose stuff doesn't even resemble a pop song let alone music.
