BRIEF: David and Goliath In Chicago

In the Sunday Sun Times, Jim DeRogaitis explored the ramifications of the Live Nation HOB purchase in Chicago, through a chat with the head of city's biggest independent promoter JAM productions.

Jam Productions co-founder Jerry Mickelson, sees trouble.

"I think it's bad for the consumer and bad for those of us who are in the live entertainment industry, because one more competitor has just been eliminated by Live Nation," he says. "It's not a healthy thing: Competition is good, but the way the concert industry is going, pretty soon, they'll be only one company."


The article also outlines the history of competition between House of Blues, JAM, and Live Nation.
