Yes, Baltimore, Philly, NYC and Boston all appeared to have very good crowds.

How come it is much more expensive to tour the US comparing to Europe? Is it the distance between cities in the US?

British bands can accross the pond to mainland Europe with their huge tour bus. It's a huge difference of money, I would say.

British bands can accross the pond to mainland Europe with their huge tour bus. It's a huge difference of money, I would say. Initial costs on a tour like this, esp for International bands coming to the US, have really high initial overheads, esp a band like NGHFB, just in the freight shipping of gear alone. They travelled with a huge backline of equipment, especially compared to Garbage who toured with no stage gear besides electronic drums and a couple of keyboards. Additionally, it was a Live Nation tour, who take a cut of literally every conceivable revenue stream, including merch. So the breakeven point was probably fairly high for this tour, and judging by ticket sales especially in the early leg of the tour, I'd be curious to know if they hit it.

Hard to believe that X-Ray Eyes was a single and YKWCGB was not I don't think it was? I double checked discogs to be sure but I don't ever remember this being the case. Maybe a promotional single in Italy?

Maybe a promotional single in Italy? My bad, it was not. I mixed it up with the Holmes rework of X-Ray Eyes being a b-side to TDOTL. I'm getting older
