Hi everyone,
Just a quick observation on the countries Moz has recently played.
I've sensed a cynical side to this tour.
1) Countries he hasn't visited in years.
2) Countries he hasn't previously visited.
3) Countries he knows are hot-beds of popularity (USA, a couple of nights in UK).
Bear in mind with the frequent posts (boasts?) on TTY about how quickly tickets are selling.
My observation is this:
The places Moz has never played, or rarely played, sell out quickly. He boasts about that via TTY. It reminds record labels that there are people, worldwide, who want to hear his music. It reminds us that he's still fighting.
BUT, if he played in those same countries again in 12 months time, with or without a new record, how many people who went to the first show would go to the next?
We've all been to Moz concerts and shaken our heads at people we've overheard at the exits saying "That was shit". They haven't got a clue; we're glad they'll f*** off and never come back.
But it is one thing to gallivant about ticket sales. If Moz were to take a survey at the exits: "Please score this concert, which you've been waiting for your whole adult life, 1-10" would he be so willing to publish those figures?
Not a silly troll, nor a frequent poster. Just reacting to the recent TTY posts.
Thanks!
