I was thinking the same thing about it last night, but after I've read that Jon was refusing to cancel and there would be no refunds for the people who couldn't get there for the show, and only after the media started to question what the hell was he thinking he decided to cancel it, I don't think he was concerned about the fans at all, but became really worried about the negative press this was turning into and decided to do this free show just to come out of it as the good guy.
