What on earth does that mean?
I went to gigs I was interested in seeing. That tends to be my attitiude towards all venues. I hope you're not suggesting we should all have gone to shows we had no interest in? That's ridiculous. I don't really fancy paying through the nose for some shitty tribute act.
As has been mentioned already - it was a business. It's up to them to get the punters in the door, so it's a bit much to accuse us all of not looking after the poor old Lemon Tree. I love that place as much as anyone, but Joe Public can't be held accountable for its demise.
The brutal truth is that these sorts of places die for a reason. The Lemon Tree took on way too much work, and they obviously didn't have anything even close to enough money to keep it running.
