I do feel that marketing was something that was not done right for this show. While I do understand that this could be a tough show to market, I don't think that the producers tried hard enough on this one.
I have said it before on other threads about the show, but I will say it again here. I think that they needed to have an ad or two or an interview with Trey or something in some of the music magazines that cater to the jam band crowd. These are people who love the work of Trey and feel that as far as music is concerned, he can do no wrong and people that will travel in droves to see something he has done. When I have gone to concerts I would mention to someone in passing if they had heard about Hands On A Hardbody, and they would tell me no. I am not saying that them advertising in those kinds of magazines would have saved the show completely. But, at the same time I can't see a situation where it would have totally hurt matters either.
