LOL sure do remember!!! Welcome to the Border hope you will share more interesting stories especially any that relate to 1970-1974 ...

I think all the post Glenn Frey things happening is to be expected.

Just keeping it real ... the band has a major 2018 tour commitment with MORE dates to be announced. Clearly the machine is...

Great post Dreamer - thank you very much for sharing your insight both in the past and now. I found your thoughts to be extremely interesting and quite helpful.

FWIW I read the entire thread...

Certain venues will sell better than others. The Jimmy Buffet Co-Headliner show should do very well though Jimmy does @ 30 shows a year, nearly every year, the parrotheads are nothing if not...

I would imagine the price tag attached to Vince Gill and Deacon Frey as 2017-2018 touring members of the band could be one of the reasons why tickets are as high as they are. Cost of doing business...

I look at it this way: Fans are going to be paying alot of money to see a band that historically has charged alot of money to see them on tour.

Nothing has changed. Except the band. It's not...

LOL! Great movie, great scene! Loved the cast!

I think the band picked up younger fans during the HFO tour and even the HOTE tour and are now appealing to a wider country music audience. I don't know.

Well said WF88 could not agree more.

Second, Fan Power isn't just a catchy phrase. Fans are consumers. Concerts are a product, something bought and paid for with our hard earned money. I would...

Classic Rock festivals and concerts have become huge money makers and are primarily aimed at the baby boomer generation who are most likely to throw down their American Express credit card on...

i think what fans want is affordable luxury. To be able to buy a ticket in their price range and experience :yay:a live concert from a seat that isn't in the next zip code.

Tower Records.

While I'd agree there is no societal obligation for concerts to be affordable I don't appreciate what I consider to be manipulative/exploitative sales and marketing tactics aimed at a specific age...

Yes that would be fun! I am curious what bands other Borderers have seen esp any 60's-70's Motor City/Motown and Philly bands & artists like the Temps, 4 Tops, Sam & Dave, Harold & The Blue Notes,...

Looking back I was in college in the 70s and working part time saving my paychecks to buy concert tickets. There were alot of bands and solo artists touring the US especially in Southern and...

$7.50 in 1976 is $32.27 in 2017 dollars.

Alot of it has to do with the baby boomers who have as Azoff calls it "expendable income".

There is a great article I posted awhile back called Twilight of the Rock Gods that IMHO offers some...

Yes, I am so blessed to have experienced the Eagles from the very beginning all the way through to the end HOTE.

Oh yes, Randy looked our way and smiled I am not sure who or what he was smiling at but it was probably her she was hard to miss.

I was mesmorized by Glenn Frey it was an absolute thrill watching...

Back to the future: July 22, 1976 Riverfront Coliseum, Cincinnati, Ohio
Ticket Price $7.50

Now you know why my BFF during these years darn near passed out when she saw Randy. She was jumping up...

I think Vince Gill was added as a touring member to ease the pressure on Deacon to perform (sing lead and play guitar) on stage in stadium size venues AND to enable the band to sell seats at a...

The tickets for the Classic East/West were quite expensive and alot of fans who really just wanted to see the Eagles or vice versa Fleetwood Mac were pissed off they were initially forced to buy two...
