The thing that's probably most infuriating is that the tour is SO BEAUTIFUL, and the cover makes it look cheap & tacky. Because it tries to emphasize the coolness of EVERY performance, you don't notice the coolness of any of them. It's the DVD cover equivalent of a used car ad with starbursts on every single car, and every price is the same HUGE size, cuz they're trying to get you to look at all of it. There's no hierarchy.

...Actually no, the thing that's MOST irritating is that the poster artwork used on the tour merchandise is so freaking great, so amazing, and could have been used here with just a few minor layout changes and it woulda looked fabulous.
