[kj] NYC show on sale Wed 12/19:

[bq@soundgardener.co.nz]

I'm sick of segregated VIP areas, and seated tix at gigs. Saw Devo and simple minds the other day, who the fuck wants to sit down at Devo?

Okay add another cpl decades and I'm sure il be singing the opposite tune, but hey....

I just figure, first in first served, that way the ones up front are your most ardent fans, not the most well heeled.

Fuck Devo were cool btw. I really enjoyed Simple minds as well.

I have no problem paying $50 or more to see KJ. I have a problem when 1/3 of $$ does  not go to them, or the venue, booking agent, bartenders etc.

I saw the Stones twice -- on the Bridges to Babylon and Voodoo Lounge tours. While neither was especially intimate, they put on great shows both times. Of course, the tix for those shows were N O W H E R E near as expensive as they're currently asking -- which makes no fucking sense at all.
Seriously, $800? For that amount of money, Jagger's daughter should be sitting on my lap and ensuring my enjoyment of the proceedings at every conceivable moment.

Saw them line in '95 in Wembley Stadium. Bloody fantastic, one of the best gigs I've ever been to, up there with Richard Thompson, Killing Joke and D'espairsRay.

I like the Stones music, but saw them in a 
football (US) stadium in '89 and was not overly impressed--like watching ants on stage

anyone's budget.
