Stevie's beautiful Landslide Tribute

[jbrownsjr]

By the way, Macfan. I was booking a trip to Vegas to see Bonnie Raitt. I know someone that deals with tickets for one of those stupid companies. Anywho, she was telling me that Stevie was in town too. And.... her show is 60% unsold. In talking about this, she said, "No opening act or other support act like Pretenders to draw in another segment of the market"

I decided to see Bonnie instead. $100 for front row second section behind main section. Small theater. I'm excited!! Last year Bonnie was in Los Angeles at the Greek and tickets were $500-750. Her new album is fantastic. I guess it also won a grammy. Yes, she still writes and creates new music.

WHY would Bonnie still create new music? Stevie says that no one buys it! Stevie's show is 60% unsold?

Because she still sounds fabulous and does indeed cover other people's comps.
The album has a few of her own songs. One of which won song of the year.
It's an absolutely stunning song. (This is a beautiful story)

I'm not shocked for a minute that her ticket sales might not be great. Take a look at the Billy/Stevie show in Columbus. It's not setting the world on fire, $200 to be a country mile from the stage in the very back row.

Her ticket sales did really well last summer/fall because everyone was in a post pandemic ticket frenzy.
