    Somehow. My first glance, I "missed" the "tilt" number. So close!!!!


    I'm doing a "1 night in my backyard" campaign. "Tilts" at 1.07 million. Less travel for dave!

    Not with this group of prima donna$. They're too good for shitty small venues like Red Rocks.

    I don't think DMB needs this to know that there's a strong desire from their fanbase to see them return to Red Rocks.

    And, as if they'd have a hard time selling the place out

    Thank you...my morning is off to a great start!

    32 people pledging $400.

    The campaign is silly, but returning to Red Rocks would be a sign that DMB/their management gets that their fans are not satisfied with their product.

    The question is, do they care?

    They continue to s̶t̶e̶a̶l̶ generate millions of dollars of revenue from their fanbase. DMB hasn't cared about their product in years.

    DMB is like the NY Jets, or Chicago Bears. They know they can pump out a subpar product and still generate shit tons of money, so why put in the effort to produce a quality product?

    DMB has stated that they don't like Red Rocks multiple times, plus they love to maximize revenue by playing the largest possible venues they have a chance of filling. Why change that method any time soon?

    Without knowing the exact numbers, their revenue has to be dropping, even at per venue basis. The crew doesn't like Red Rocks because of the actual work involved in getting the equipment to the stage - but at some point, they are going to be most interested in keeping their jobs.

    Also, regarding Red Rocks & revenue, DMB could set up camp there for 2 consecutive weekends and sell out 3-4 nights each. Fri/Sat/Sun/Mon 3 days off Fri/Sat/Sun
