Nice enough but to compare "Pacific" to "New England" is not valid. You would have had to divide up the Pacific NW to equal NE and NorCal to equal Mid-Altantic and Southwest to equal to Southeast.

What do you mean by "to equal to" (and what do you think you mean by "valid" ? The divisions you suggest would create flaccid equivalencies, would ignore Census conventions, and would further exaggerate the band's move from New England to Mid-Atlantic.

People don't complain that "Phish ignored SoCal"; the manta is "West coast screwed again" - and it's factually inaccurate.

Why should they continue to play in New England? Outside of Boston it's sparsely populated.
