| Concert Ticket Prices - Not a Rant - Just an Observation @fred60 I think you’re right and honestly, if I can at least feel like some of that ticket money reaches the band I feel a little better about it. I heard someone say on a pod cast, or here, or somewhere that buying a CD or vinyl from a band’s we... | |
| Concert Ticket Prices - Not a Rant - Just an Observation @klerxst That statistic is not one sided. That means a small number of people are putting a lot of money back into the economy. (They also pay most of the taxes by the way). I also don't think it accounts for the prices you are referring to. I'v... | |
| Concert Ticket Prices - Not a Rant - Just an Observation @goose This show will be my first time in a large venue for a rock show in over 30 years. I will be interested to see what the sound is like. I have seen operas and symphonies in large venues during this time and they were all fine. Back in the... | |
| Concert Ticket Prices - Not a Rant - Just an Observation @larsman What exactly are you agreeing with? That ticket prices have to do with which political party is currently in charge? Or that it is just the rich getting richer? If you've read through this thread you'd understand that the situation with ... | |
| Concert Ticket Prices - Not a Rant - Just an Observation @jasonbourne71 I would love to know that number. I would love to know what they get for each streaming play as well. Peter Grant was a gangster when it came to management (maybe literally) and flipped the concert equation on its ear. Of course h... | |
| Concert Ticket Prices - Not a Rant - Just an Observation @jasonbourne71 Those are big shoes to fill. But maybe. I hear the Allman brothers still on mainstream radio to this day. Not sure this band will endure that way. Their earlier stuff has Skynyrd and Molly Hatchet vibe. I also get a Hank Williams... | |
| Concert Ticket Prices - Not a Rant - Just an Observation @jasonbourne71 I'm no economist but as mentioned above that doesn't explain how much concerts cost now. If it was just inflation then average concert tickets would be about $90 compared to $12.50 in 1982. An article that I read about this said t... | |
| Concert Ticket Prices - Not a Rant - Just an Observation @truebluephil It would probably be better to leave politics out of it as much as possible even if humorous. @sparksgja I think there is a problem invoking a moral or ethical standard on what is by any measure a commodity for which there is no fun... | |
| Concert Ticket Prices - Not a Rant - Just an Observation @mapman You might have missed the point of the song "Wondering Why". It has more to do with the writer being amazed that this woman truly loves him despite their differences and his deficiencies. It is probably their biggest single. It is not my f... | |
| Concert Ticket Prices - Not a Rant - Just an Observation @mapman I agree, in part, with what you're saying. Prices on everything have gone up. Not sure what you mean by "the reality of who is in charge" unless you're referring to the small amount of people on both sides of the isle who run this country ... | |
| Marcus King at Club Ebony. Once in a lifetime. I really want to see him with his band after seeing him solo/acoustic. His band seems to have top notch musicians in it. The closest they are coming to where I live is a couple of hours away. Its an outdoor venue in September which means it will ... | |
| Marcus King at Club Ebony. Once in a lifetime. Correction: He did not say the Marshall Tucker Band was the best band ever, he said the "Can't You See" was the best song ever written. | |
| Marcus King at Club Ebony. Once in a lifetime. He played 'Heard it in a Love Song' early in the set. It was excellent and as expected everyone sang along. I have seen videos of him singing 'Can't You See' acoustically. He does both songs justice and I've heard him refer to the Marshall Tucker ... | |
| DIY mid to low end speakers. Worth the price? I’m back to thinking about doing these speakers again. I’ve been messing around on the band saw and I’m having decent luck re-sawing the oak into ’veneer’. It is a little less than 1/8th inch so not store bought thin but I think that glued to MDF... | |
| DIY mid to low end speakers. Worth the price? @devinplombier These Polk Monitor 70s might be Best Buy junk for all I know. You may be right about the little NAD but it reviewed quite well in its day. All of this stuff was bought used for under $500 total and is primarily used for ambient back... |
