I think it would be worth £100 to hear this live.
In the 80s/90s bands made just as much off record/cd sales as they did off touring but now Spotify and music streaming platforms have killed that so the only way for artists to make money is by touring and selling merchandise at ridiculous prices.Folk griping about prices - ticket fees are always a scam, mind - don't realise how everything in general has gone up. Utter nobodies in little venues are charging £25+ these days, and that's a bunch of blokes compared to a full orchestra.
Great days - No Ticketmaster either. Just queue up at the box office to get the best tickets or send an SAE with a postal order to the little old lady in the box office stating where you`d like to sit and a couple of days later a nice printed ticket. No e-tickets, no apps just a proper ticket.I don't.....it sounds like pompous crap and i like the Who.
