Re: Denver show now at the Fillmore Auditorium

This stuff always happens at the 11th hour and the band will be incredibly pissed-off about the whole affair and as such the chances of working with/for that promoter again will be somewhere between nil and zero because not only have they proved themelves inept, they've also pissed-off the one thing that's most valuable to any band - their fans.
That's an understatement in this situation. The guys are very upset about it. They basically had two options: relocate or cancel.

but simply the main one is that Underworld are, imo, no longer big enough to play these types of venues in the USA.
Depends on the region, really. They packed the Hollywood Bowl last night and that's a fairly large venue with a lot of history. In Los Angeles Underworld have established themselves as great live performers via their individual gigs and two Coachella stage headlining performances so there's likely to always be a sizeable, promotable audience here despite the ebb and flow in popular music.
