Shows display incorrect venue names #45
Description
Examples: Disco Biscuits @ Revolution in 2006-03-10 gets the metadata from the show in St Pete instead of downtown Ft. Lauderdale where I set up the mics. Others include NYE 2006-12-31 which was at the tweeter center, and incorrectly says it was at the E factory in Philly.
This is not limited to the artist, other tapes of mine are not reflecting archive.org metadata. We should work together in ensuring what you pull from there is correct and in sync with etree.org and archive.org.
This is my first visit to the repo, I look forward to moving the posts forward with you on the iOS version. If you tag some issue with help-wanted I can move through them with priority. Cheers!

Found this to be a problem affecting many shows, entire tour sections such as the above: all shows in October of 2002 seem to be off by a day in their venue & location. 'View on archive' displays the correct data, seems an issue with the Relisten.weasly API

I believe this happens due to the importer only using the venue name as it's unique id. It's merely a bug, that should be fixable by extending the venue id to support the venue city as well. I am a bit worried that not every archive source will properly tag the city name and we may end up with several venue entities created for what should be a single venue, but there's no perfect solution here. This is just the nature of dealing with unstructured, user inputted data.
We should add the city name to the id though, which would ostensibly fix this issue. If anyone wants to run with it and work on this, let me know and we can rescrape Archive after it's implemented and deployed.
