I’m finding artists today who were fans of my favorite bands. They are very accomplished musicians and i can enjoy them more for $35 from 40 feet than the originals for $200 from 400 feet. Locally we have “tribute” bands like Steeling Dan, The Super Tramps, PG13 (early Gabriel albums), Those Medley Boys (prog band medleys), Transit Authority and one old rocker who entertains with full shows of dozens of artists like Elton John, Billy Joel, Springsteen, Elvis, Elvis Costello...always a good show!
It’s basically now like Classical Music, where people go to see orchestras playing the works of Mozart, Beethoven, etc.
Now it will be people going to see bands playing The Beatles, or any of the other classic rock bands.
