  1. So, what do we all think of "The Last Jedi" (those who have seen it, that is)?

    I really liked it - however, if I'm completely honest, I preferred both "The Force Awakens" and "Rogue One". The good thing is, just like "The Empire Strikes Back", it did pique one's interest how this most recent trilogy will end two years from now...

    I wonder how the side movie "Solo" will be next May. Have there been any leaks about that one?

    Goddamned Eagles & Madonna!!! Those two money whores started this whole mess back in the early 90's. Up until then you could see The Stones, The Who, pretty much any top billed act for around $25 then came Madonna with her Vogue Tour and the Eagles with Hell Freezes Over and next thing you know $100 tickets became the norm. And don't even get me started on the $200 starting price for Heart to play their greatest hits. Give me a break.

    Seconded, esp. about the Eagles. I was living in San Antonio at the time of that tour, and for the worst seats in the Alamodome (yes, that's a large stadium, not an arena) all the way in the back, all the way at the top were $40 (before "convenience fees", etc.). Nowadays, that would be somewhat of a bargain; back then, for those seats, that was a complete rip-off. I wanted to go, but I simply refused to pay that much for a terrible seat.

    I saw the Stones there right around the same time on the "Voodoo Lounge" tour - as you said, the tickets for that show were in the $25 range for the same seats. I went to that one - a great show which surpassed my expectations.

    Anyway, spot on for the pricing criminals...

    Still, I wouldn't think twice about getting tickets for JBLZE, even at almost headlining prices. The show is just that good, IMHO.
