DOORS SHOW CANCELLED

From the DATEBOOK 4/21/05

"The Doors Of The 21st Century concert scheduled for Aug. 28 at the Civic Center of Greater Des Moines has been canceled. Ticketholders can receive refunds at the point of purchase. But Friday's show at the Orpheum Theatre in Sioux City is still on..."

What this basically means is that Des Moines can't support an act like this coming to town so the Doors decided to cancel. I'm not sure why an artist would cancel a gig just because ticket sales aren't what they hoped. The band still gets money. The promoter, on the other hand doesn't, and they are probably the ones that cancelled. What a shame. Word of mouth is what brings people out to more shows. Keep a show like this on the schedule and future shows will only grow in number. Occasionally you have to take a loss early on to make future shows possible. What a crock and what a disappointment. At least I still have Tesla next week!
