Well, its not a testament to the quality of the show or how enjoyable it is. When it comes to these bands the market is very fragmented. From our experience things sell pretty much in this order from highest demand to lowest;

1. Daniel Amos albums
2. 77s albums
3. Lost Dogs albums
4. Mike/Terry Solo albums
5. DA/77s live albums
6. Lost Dogs live albums

(You'd think the Dogs would unite the markets of all the affiliated bands, but they actually don't. They bring together limited divisions of each of those bands markets, because not every DA or 77s fan follows the Dogs. In fact I would say the Dogs market is smaller than the individual 77s or DA markets.)

There is a much smaller market for live albums as there is for actual studio albums, and that market is reduced from 77s/DA to Lost Dogs. When it comes to DVDs it is even a more selective crowd, but again I would say DA/77s would come before Lost Dogs, and studio type films before live ones.

Part of the reason for that I think is because the Dogs tour regularly and the 77s and DA don't. So what you end up with a is a great product (the Dogs DVD) with a very small percentage of the market. Its unfortunate. And what usually happens with a situation like this is those people that are passing the DVD up will eventually want a copy when the Dogs quit touring and since the market made it limited they will have to pay $200 on ebay later.

All of this is to say that has been our experience, under the circumstances we have seen concerning the three websites and the Dogs under contract with BEC. It might be entirely different with a different label promoting them.
