Agreed.

Of course, I would rather do just about anything rather than see Sting or the Police.

ok..I'll edit and take further..I would pay $250 NOT to sit through a Police show today

but..if it was 1980-81 and they only had two albums out, I think I'd show up..you?

I never liked the Police.

I paid $250 face to see the Who do Tommy at Radio City Music Hall back in the late 80s. But, it was a benefit, so I felt all warm and fuzzy inside.

Not that it's not now, but $250 in the late '80s was a hunk of coin

Saw the Who many times from '81 on...indoors, outdoors...Roger always delivered..sometimes Pete was up to it, sometimes the guitars off stage carried them

Kids Are Alight still a great DVD to pull out every so often

I'd pay $500 to see Joy Division.

I meant to tell you, there's a documentary about them that is playing at Lincoln Center a few times this week. It doesn't have a distributor but maybe it will get a DVD release sometime. If I check it out I'll let you know.

I wouldn't pay $250 to see Sting play Johnny Be Bad on his lead bass guitar.

I wouldn't pay $250 to see anybody.



And most of these wretches grew out of the "flower children...everyone's your brother / sister" era.

You could probably still see Buddy Guy today for a $10 cover charge and still have more fun and "ah don't care's" than a barrel of elitist,overhyped,grossly overpaid drunks and drug addicts.

Had a chance in '83, $50 tickets.....passed!

I paid $250 apiece for McCartney tickets for the Driving USA Tour and The US Tour.

Well worth it.

I wouldn't, but that is just personal preference, but I think McCartney is still relevant and does enough of the Beatles stuff...right?..that it's a great show.

I'd pay $250 to see Led Zep reunion, Pearl Jam-Who combo ( if they do that again) and that may be about it

Yes he does.

I'd like to see The Who...Led Zep, Peal Jam not so much.
