Ticket prices are pretty expensive these days, but I understand why. Most of them need the money, perhaps not the rolling stones, but 3rd-tier and lower bands.

But nothing beats bands live. I gotten into bands and bought their album based on what I heard live. Rap is a great example. I generally dislike what they do in the studio. Most of their albums, I find are overproduced. Live is another story, you are there, you are pumped up by their lyrics and beats. You feel it. You understand why all these wiggers are pumping their arms, jumping around and you can't help but join in.
