Argh, thx. I've been working on chasing down info on all the 9th & Beats shows. Will report back. Am in California this week which makes it harder to keep a pulse on all this.

Wikipedia is not a credible source on Holy Wood selling 9 million copies, and their source for this figure is some company that has a vested interest in promoting MM. Besides, that's a global number. The only metric that counts when discussing record sales is U.S. sales. And in the U.S., it sold less than a million.

I remember when in-stores were free, and you didn't have to buy the album to get a ticket to an in-store.
I guess record stores have to do what they need to to survive.
I also guess that one has to look at it as a cd purchase with a live performance as a bonus.

Being out of touch with popular music is a good thing, right? Sort of like not drinking InvBev or Miller-Coors beers?

Why does only US sales count? Anyway it sold enough copies that you should have known about it. And the next one went to number one in the US. You can't get higher than number one. Point is if you didn't know about the albums you are probably out of touch.

I think we've covered the evils of InvBev (and Miller-Coors) pretty well in the beer thread, but use the google and I'm sure you'll easily find the answer.

Why is Inbev bad? I mean they make some tasty beer…. for example Goose Island and Bass

I think the wristband guarantees your entrance.

Hey, I updated the listing– you're right, I had the date and lineup wrong. I probably pulled the wrong thing off of Dave's facebook stream. Apparently some 9th & Beats shows are moving and some are staying put– I'm still working with both parties to figure out what's where, and I'll keep SLDC updated as I learn more.
Never fear, though, apparently Dave Mann has booked some show at the Black Cat's main stage on 3/30.

Slim to none. It's not like Phish playing MPP is new, they've been playing there since the 90's. Wooks know the rules.
