Those are interesting points you both make, but I do feel that it's also worth considering that perhaps the most frequent criticism leveled against LN is some variation of the fact that they're greedy, and with that having been said, if they were to drop Jay-Z or someone like that into a 2,000 person club, they'd be losing money (vs touring him through a venue of fitting size). I think it's a fine line that they're skating to try and get big names in there while not choking out potential revenue they'd make by hosting these acts elsewhere. To that end, I think the opening month or two is a pretty respectable spattering of several genres and decent sized names from each.
