Just because a few sneer and criticise such gigs as a pure money making excercise, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go and really enjoy it. All musicians want to make money, without it they can’t carry on making music for people to enjoy.
I’d have loved to have seen Leonard Cohen on his last tour, but tickets were too expensive for me. That really was to make money, Len had lost most of his investments after a close friend had embezzled the money. The gigs were an absolute joy to attend, by all accounts. Go, and enjoy.
As it happens, I’ve seen, and met, the bloke who wrote a number of the Eagles greatest hits, like New Kid In Town, in a tiny little church hall venue with about 300 people. John David Souther, truly lovely bloke, who was delighted to sign my original ’70’s vinyl copy of his album Black Rose.
Not often you get an opportunity like that.
