Ah, yes, Trent in the 'Hand That Feeds' video is pretty damn buffed.
Maybe the were slow because they hadn't toured in a while? Although, I think they played the night before in Vegas.
I'd imagine the sales would jump. People who were fans {like yourself
} already have the music but the folks who go get their ears opened up to new stuff. Did you hear after that '8' show bands like Pink Floyd saw a big jump in their sales? I heard they donated the new $$ to a charity.
