It's definitely out-of-control! But on the positive side, that is how much they charged for playing the Atlantic City Convention Center in May 2003. So in effect, they are doing us a favor by not accounting for inflation! ;-)
One really has to wonder where/when this tour will end. This tour is like a "river running to the sea" in the sense that it started out so strong and mighty (big arenas, sell-outs, hoopla) and is starting to peter out towards the end (half-empty sheds, casinos, canceled dates, etc.) One hopes that this mighty river doesn't turn into a little trickle when all is said and done! So if history is any indication, and the SIXTH leg of this tour picks up again in Atlantic City on September 10th, we are probably looking at more shows through the end of October at the very least, perhaps even until December (the last couple of FM tours ended in December). They wouldn't re-start the touring machine again just to play for a couple of weeks. I wonder if they are eligible for frequent-flyer miles!
I can only guess that everybody is having such a good time on this tour and everybody is in good spirits, so even if it delays the recording of solo/group albums, I think it is a wonderful thing to witness. It's not like they need any more money! Well... except maybe Lindsey. ;-)
