Yes and no. While Live Nation is the primary promoter on all of these dates, they have also have partners in some of these markets (Auburn Hills being one of them)

To give the impression that shows were more successful/not as disastrous as they were. After years of seeing how these reports were prepared and presented- and how there was really no standard (not just between companies, but also in the same office, with the different talent buyers)- I take most of this info with a grain of salt. Its too easy to manipulate to spin one way or the other.
