Cowboy Junkies & Shawn Colvin Concert Review - July 11, 2004 - Page 2

    "Tonight was about as perfect as it gets. Great audience, excellent sound and we all delivered. It was a fantastic night of music for both us and the audience. The Instant Live people were suppose to be here tonight to tape the show, but their van and all of their equipment was stolen this morning from the parking lot of their hotel. I think the heist was the start of a taper conspiracy to rid the concert scene of this growing trend.

    The one negative note on the night was the fact that the concert wasn't sold out. We were warned by our booking agent at the start of the tour that the concert business was in shambles. With the industry experiencing declining CD sales and now declining concert gates, things are looking a little uncertain for us old rockers."

Hmmm, "a taper conspiracy to rid the concert scene of this growing trend." I don't think so. More like a desperate move by the record labels but definitely not a "taper conspiracy". As for the "concert business in shambles", maybe the high cost of tickets is catching up with the industry and fans are voting with their feet???
