Cool analysis. However, the eye test still makes it seem like it is much easier to catch a string of shows with minimal driving for those in the North East and Mid Atlantic. New York City in particular has it best chance. NYC in can easily access upstate(SPAC), NJ, Philly, Worcester/Boston Area, DC/Baltimore/Merriweather. All are within 4 hours driving distance.

That probably just goes back, again, the pre-railroad America where population centers had to be close together to facilitate easier travel. The developed West didn't spend much time in the pre rail times, so their population centers could be a bit more spread out, and not much has changed.

So my very flawed theory is that Phish knew that, which is why they don't do shows on trains, stagecoaches, or in Pahrump, NV.
