It would have been different if he had actually done the full set, but he didn't. And as for no live band? Usually he has one on this tour that is strategically hidden. The show was pretty cool but it ended abruptly with no acknowledgment that he had ever really left the planet in his brain. It was the strangest thing I've ever witnessed. It was after that show that I stopped experiencing Bonnaroo and started wading through the marshlands of Bitteroo.
There is no definitive proof that the lineup was the cause of lower ticket sales. There are far too many factors at play - the rising cost of gas and travel, the proliferation of festivals across the U.S., thus making a trip to Tennessee not necessary for many musicgoers...
It reminds me of the old Simpsons exchange:
Homer: "There's not a single bear in sight--the 'Bear Patrol' is working like a charm"
Lisa: "That's specious reasoning"
Homer: "Thanks, honey,"
Lisa: "According to your logic, this rock keeps tigers away".
Homer: "Hmmm. How does it work?"
Lisa: "It doesn't."
Homer: "How so?"
Lisa: "It's just a rock, but I don't see a tiger, anywhere." Homer: "Lisa," [while pulling out his wallet] "I want to buy your rock."
Essentially, the lineup is the rock. There are far too many variables present that could account for the lower ticket sales.
of course the lineup isn't the ONLY reason, but it sure is a huge factor. i'd be curious to see how ticket sales are doing for other festivals this summer....
Ok for waiting for EVER to see kayne West it was more of the principle of the thing to wait and see the killer show... However who ever came up with his act is a total tool. I kept think during the moring... "don't leave me Jane" "where and I" and would start cracking up! His routine was a total joke. It was the dumiest thing i have ever seen. Then for him never t say anythign about being so late or thanks for coming and waiting... when he finished his set he was done... no talking to the audiance. Chris rock was right when he said West had the biggest eggo of anyone he knew... that seams to be true from his performance.
I agree, Kanye did do something....He showed us that you can bring suck to a new level.
