I was thinking about the DDN shows the other day, and I think that, if they're going to do more than just a one-off show, there's one thing they could have done that would have made it a really cool project: Tour it only to places they don't generally visit, places that have a developing music scene rather than a developed one.
Think about it: They could play a venue in, say, Poland or Mexico, that, if it had a major band come to play, could afford to upgrade their in-house facilities, or could afford to open a smaller venue for bands that are too big for a pub but too small for a full-size venue. That, and the resultant publicity, would help the local music scene to develop.
If the band thought carefully about the places it played, they could find places that are easily accessible from the countries where the music scene is already developed, so people could travel to the venues where the shows are being held, if they're really really keen to see the shows. Cross-border travel can be done fairly cheaply these days, and the sort of place that I'm talking about will always have reasonably cheap places to stay overnight.
I would expand on this more, but I have to go to a meeting with my boss. 'Bye for now.
