Bands you'd spend big bucks to see

An interesting question on the morning radio show I listen to ... what bands or singers, living or dead, would you consider paying "big bucks" to see? Genesis has been in Chicago this week, third of 3 shows tonight and the top ticket price was $227.

Right away I thought of the Beatles. I was in the 9th grade when John Lennon was murdered in 1980. I wonder, if he hadn't been killed, what would have happened with the Beatles. If they would have got back together, made more albums, gone on tour. Guess I will always wonder. If they were all still alive and making a concert appearance in Chicago, I think I'd cough up big bucks for a decent seat. I also wonder if Elvis Presley hadn't died from an overdose, what the rest of his career might have been.

Definitely Garth Brooks.

I'm not sure. I'm getting so disgusted with people buying up a bunch of tickets and then scalping them. A perfect example is the recent sales of the Hannah Montana tour. There are tickets out there selling for over $225,000.00 because she is in such demand. It's sad to see because that means some of these kids who save up there money for tickets don't get them because of ppl like this. Last concert I went to was an Alabama concert unless you count the Chipndales that my hubby sent me too with his mom.

Please someone say the Spice Girls! Due to a genuine mix up with ordering I have two that I don't need....

$225,000 for Hannah Montana? Are you sure?

I know that my husband would say "Elvis" or "Cher", his two favorites. Maybe even Robert Earl Keen, another of his favorites.

I'm at the point that I'll go buy the cd, some wonderful food and a good bottle of wine, sit in candlelight and listen at home. I don't think that makes me boring, just practical.

I would prolly pay good money for Johnny Cash if he was still around... Or maybe some one like neil young or led zeppelin.

LOL If it was in Vancouver, I would snatch them up quick! I can't find any decent seats under $300! Have you tried Craigslist? People are making huge profits selling Spice Girl tickets on there!

I don't think any of the bands I've ever wanted to see live were over $20, $25 at the most.

THE BEST show I've ever been to was The Buzzcocks and it was absolutely free.
