Kegsy Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Saw these approx. 1975 they were had second billing to Santana. They were truly brilliant, rotating drummer, loads of effects and musically spot on. This was before they had any UK chart success, they had just released the album The way of The World I think. Santana were excellent too, one of the best live events I ever went to. kegsy Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Barry Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 They were £62 in the week at Royal Albert Hall,can`t see this being a sell out can you? It's asking a lot I know what you mean but I quite happly paid £75 for Stevie Wonder so prob end up dipping in for these - but everything is just so ridiculous these days.

Mike Lofthouse Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 ....it's dear these days ay? Indeed it is - but everyone wants an artists recorded material for nothing so this is how artists earn their income now. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Citizen P Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 It all seems out of proportion nowadays. Once upon a time the price of a concert ticket was, broadly speaking, the same as an LP or CD for our younger viewers. I can understand what Mike is saying, but frack me could get a cheap holiday for what they want now. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Roger Williams Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Once upon a time the price of a concert ticket was, broadly speaking, the same as an LP or CD for our younger viewers. Very true, but as Mike kind of said, that was in the days when artists didn't have all the recorded work stolen and obtained for free as the majority do nowadays. Touring and merchandise really the only way they can make money because very few actually make anything from recorded work, it's a sad fact. But yes, it's a lot of dosh for a concert, but it's just like paying silly money for records, it that's what it's worth to you, then you pay it, and seeing them again for me is a big thing, a very big thing!
