Maybe and maybe not. . . I've seen a lot of good shows (and yes, some of them were more than $60 a ticket) but honestly the BEST shows I've seen were local bands at either bars or small clubs with admissions of about $25 to $50. Like I said, standing in a stadium with 80,000 of my "closest friends" is something that I outgrew a while ago. If I go to see a band life, I want to SEE A BAND LIVE. I want the raw experience of the performance, not a sterilized, mass-produced hunk-o-McEntertainment tossed out to the dumb masses.
There are a few "bigger" bands (like Tool) that I like, but I doubt I'll get the chance to see live. I just have to hold out for that occasional smaller venue show or whatever. Just not much interest in stadium shows at all. It's sort of the antithesis of what most music is about anyway. . . (Interestingly I did see ZooTV by U2, which was fantastic and a hilarious commentary on the whole idiocy of "mass produced" performance). I think they really do pine for the days of playing smaller shows and in their hearts wish they weren't so "big". Fun, yes but not something I have much interest in doing regularly.
