while that's all true, regular ticket prices for ok seats are $200+. while that may seem insignificant to people who have tons of money, it's not to regular people.

and do i want to see the show from the back of the arena where i can barely even see the video screens? no, even the bands i go to see just out of curiosity - i made that mistake once, and i'd rather watch youtube clips than pay $60+ for that.

also, if they had a new album out by then and play 6 new songs, i'd be excited and i'd want to see that! but another oldies tour - i've heard Stevie's and Lindsey's oldies way too many times last year. the only reason to see this tour is to see the 5 together and to hear Christine's oldies that will be added to the mix. might as well go to the restroom during SN's and LB's songs.

i've watched Bruce Springsteen doc about his new album (granted not studio, but still - he's the same age as LB and this is his 18th album) and was thinking how great it was to hear live these different songs from him, which still sound so Bruce. he toured 2 years ago. he toured last year. he's touring now. worth catching every time, shows are different. not so with FM. no respect for fans whatsoever. just grab the money, and maybe here and there throw in a bone like SOTM last year and everybody has to be delighted with that. sorry. no.
