If my info is correct, those Beacon Theater shows are invite only for Pres. Clinton's 60th birthday. Besides, they're charging $400+ for front row seats on their tour right now. So I can only imagine what 9:30 seats would go for. I should know. Im going to see 'em in AC.
For my 3rd show in the tour in about a year. (D.C., Baltimore, now A.C.) And yes, you hipster fucks biased toward anything remotely mainstream (not all of you), it is worth it. I'll take their catalog over any of your Village Voice adored bands any day of the week.
Rolling Stones>>>>Be Your Own Pet, TV On The Radio (they are good, though), or any other lil' indie/hipster band you & SPIN magazine are love with this month
Mick Jagger is the greatest frontman of all time. Period. End of discussion. (I'll give you Robert Plant, but not anything else. Not even Bono. Much as it hurts me to admit that.)
So with all that said, book 'em Seth. 1500 seats??? @ $275 a pop makes for a 100K+ take each Mick & the boys (before Lisa Fischer, Darryl Jones and 'em get broke off of course.) For that much, even $300 - I'm there. Even though I got raped for $250 at Virgin Festival for those VIP seats. More on that later . . . (On a positive note, thanks for booking The Who, Seth. That was some priceless shit.)
