red rocks was cancelled - and relocated to the much smaller fillmore - due to low ticket sales.

the cavernous bank of america pavilion in boston was barely 3/4 full.

combine that with the fact that karl and rick generally aren't interested in 'standard' venues - opting for the more 'scenic' and 'iconic' spaces - and you've got a pretty good idea of why the US tour only hits a handful of cities.

not sure if i'll do the entire thing again.. but i had such an amazing time in 2007 - truly a trip i will never forget - that i just might have another tour of my own!

I didn't mind the 2nd SF date being a little more open. I'd say the fraction you talk about was prob. 2/3 the original crowd. Still full enough to feel good but not so crowded you couldn't move. Both nights in SF were good but I think the vibe at the Denver show was better. Hard to say.
