Geography mostly. During most of those years I lived in a small city in southern Oregon. Which meant my closest DMB options were a 7 hr drive to Shoreline or 10 hrs to the Gorge. They didn’t play Bend back in those days either. Plus, for being a smaller town we got plenty of decent acts coming through. So my concert dollars got spent on Beck, Black Crowes, Flaming Lips, Jack Johnson, Michael Franti, John Butler Trio and so on. Tried to get a few Gorge trips in over the years but all fell through. Then had a kid which cut into my showgoing for a few years.
Once I moved back to Southern California I was guaranteed one or two local DMB shows a year so I reallocated my concert dollars accordingly.
Got confirmed for Atlanta and Orange Beach. Stoked to catch my first DMB shows in the South. 😀
