Yup. Casuals won't spend $50+. Die hards won't spend $50+ if its filled with stuff they already have. So who is byuing retrospective stuff, no matter how well its done?

It'd have to be mega promoted to the old fans and that's something Jon would never do. And thus the cycle of this fanbase continues.

The idea that the NJ edition didn't sell because a different version of Does Anybody Really Fall In Love Anymore was included? I don't think I agree. That's a sliver of a niche pie.

It's wild, Jon doesn't want to be seen as nostalgic and doesn't want to fully promote and get into the music he currently puts out so he's stuck in this no man's land that tours 30 (if that) shows per year. Projects like this could do well if the effort was there. Let's just hope the next box set is one last kiss to the diehards, have the vibe of the 2004 release and call it a day.
