I know I'm going to sound like one of those old guys who used to tell us, "Sonny, in my day, we got a loaf of bread for a nickle!", but $500 each for a concert ticket? And I'm assuming that isn't scalper prices.
Bands used to tour to sell albums, and most concerts I went to were five or six bucks. That was for bands in their hayday, like the Who, Stones, Jethro Tull, Led Zeppelin, etc.
I'd love to see Fleetwood Mac again, but I could no way spring for that kind of ching. I have seen Fleetwood Mac three times. Once when they were a blues group, and not even the opening act. The second time was just after Buckingham and Nicks joined. They played a small venue called the Century Theater in Buffalo. The third time was shortly after they achieved superstar status, at a much larger 18,000 seat arena.
The only band I'd pay $500 to see would be The Beatles. And that ain't gonna happen.
Guess I'll have to settle for this...
Your story regarding Stevie's panties made me jealous, I must admit. Thanks for sharing, LWR!
