But also, I'm sure he (obviously) had a guarantee, and the promoter probably took a hit. Maybe a big hit.... I have no idea of how much he would require for a guarantee....

That's interesting... it was the exact opposite here in Austin. He sold out Antone's fairly quickly (it's a standing room only venue). The last week before the show, more tickets ended up being released. It was PACKED, my guess about 900 people crammed into the room. There was no space to move. I've always known Austin would really support Lindsey if he brought his solo act here. I'm kinda surprised Nashville didn't do the same, with it being such a music mecca.
