'Kin ell ! £99 upwards , phewee . would love to see them again though , best concert I've ever seen at Bingley Hall , Staffs in 19??

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.

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.

[Hammersoul]

I would like to go as well but not paying them silly prices,i can pick up a some cheap 45`s for  £100  .

1978, ah were there me'sen, 'kin'ell it were hot an' swettie  

 

Yes it's steep, but it's Earth Wind & Fire, not exactly a gang of 80 year olds in a scabby freezing holiday camp setting, they're a top of the tree worldwide major league act and have been for 40 years, that's what it's going to cost.  £112 very well spent this morning I reckon.

Indeed it is - but everyone wants an artists recorded material for nothing so this is how artists earn their income now.

[Citizen P]

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.

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!
