It's a tough call. I've never gone to a Stones show thinking "man, Woodies' gonna shred tonight." I always looked at him thinking "shouldn't he be playing more?" But he's managed to hold onto the gig, so good for him I suppose.
The question is can the Stones still put on a great show. If so, they deserve to be paid well. Every major artist charges an arm and a leg these days. Curious to know the price of the new Springsteen tix.
$95 (with an extremely limited number of $65)
The bootlegs I heard of Werchter and I think Nijmegen 2007 were absolutely dreadful performance wise. They seemed to get it together as the tour went on but there is no excuse for putting on such a bad show regardless of the ticket price.
But my days of spending a 3 digit figure just for a stupid concert are over.
I didn't get any boots from 07, heard too many bad reports of performance sucked. I really doubt if they will tour this year. No news yet unless it's a surprise.
