Good seats are still available at $251 each (because $250 wasn't enough).
Oh - that doesn't include the $23.55 service charge on each ticket. Free delivery though.
It's real hard to fathom that a group who is essential playing material from two albums released 35 years ago with bonus Young songs can still get that much for a show. I'm guessin it's a 35th anniversary tour for which the cost of nostalgia goes up. Would also bet the typical CSNY fan doesn't get out to many concerts.
Saw CSN&Y twice in recent years and have no need to see them live again, and will never see CSN as Y is the draw for me. They have had in the past had the talented STAX backing musician, Booker T and Donald "Dunn" Dunn with them, plenty of solo Young chestnuts and the classic material is great to hear live. But, they "treat" us to the hair song, Nash does some drippy folkie song solo, and Stills croaks his way through some blues number.
It's too bad Nash can't reunite with the Hollies, or Young can't drag Crazy Horse back out seeing as he's all cranky again. Those I'd pay money to see...
