dead or alive, legend or otherwise, that I would pay $650 to see live. Pearl Jam? I'd maybe pay $65 a ticket tops, on a good day. And I saw them live, at least once (in Indio before Coachella was invented) and had a blast at the time. So it's not that I don't like the band.
Give me small local clubs with relatively unknown, new bands who are excited to be there any time of the week. You can't beat that smell of a new band, IMO. And if they're as great as I expected them to be, you betcha I'll be letting all my friends know that they should check them out. And for $25 ri $30 per person, you can also bet that I'll try to catch them any time they're back in town promoting maybe their first or second album? I'll have a great time and I get to keep my arm and leg.
Pure joy!
Pearl Jam can't give me that.
