Any "established act" is exactly what you said: a bragging rights competition for the well to do. It has absolutely nothing to do with the music. About 5 years ago, I switched over to just seeing bands on the come up. I still pay $20-$30 per show and I see most bands before they become huge and charge 5 - 10 times that. I saw Fun for free at St Andrew's Hall right after Some Nights was released, but before it blew up. I saw Adele at the Royal Oak Music Theater for $25 again, right after 21 was released but before it blew up. Similar stories for Leon Bridges, Gotye and Nathaniel Rateliff & The Nightsweats. It takes a lot for me to pay more than $50 these days. It has to be someone I really like. For example, I paid more than $50 for Kelly Clarkson on her tour last year, but that's because I love every song but one on her latest album. Other than a few rare exceptions, I just see newer artists for way cheaper. I've been a lot happier since I switched over to that concert plan.

My ex liked her then and I'll forever regret that one. Anyways, I agree. I'm grateful I have seen all the big active arena and stadium acts I've wanted to. I might do a big show or two a year, but its no fun anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Pity about Axl's Raiders though, eh?) GnR has the brand strength and the cross generation appeal that would make them perfect for the actual SB half time show. Maybe the organisers are scared that they would do something naughty? The opposite is true in reality. GnR, safe. Safe, middle aged rich men who are very strict when it comes to their millions. The NFL producers, lol, would be disappointed in how strict, demanding in over security, time frame, everuthing AxlSlashDuff and their operation is. 1989, 1990, 1987, hell no, but thise days ate long gone. GnR would be a good , family safe,loud energetic half-time show. Welcome TTJ, watered down version in lyrics. Song ftom The Terminator. SCofMine, NovemberRain with Axl rising up with piano. . Lights, lasers, dancers . Slash solo. Black top hats lighted images on the audience, whatever that is called, yep.

Such pre-recorded performances for the Super Bowl's halftime shows and national anthem have been commonplace since the 1990s; the NFL has confirmed this as standard practice. It clearly states half time shows. There are articles as well, which state that music artists lip sync for both the anthem and halftime show. True. GnR would like that so much, like, why not do that in concert . But seriously, yes. It is prerecorded. Why? Does anyone know why? I just always assumed because of the time limit which is 15 mins and cannot be a second over. Their us the performer, but all of the dancers, lasers lights pyro, etc timed to the second. The big game half time shown live cannot have any glitches, error, sound issues, performer coughing, sneezing, nothing like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my own recent experience regarding a panel discussion that my colleague and I created and organized, I can say that one of the speakers went a minute over her allotted speaking time. It affected the coffee break for networking and then the second portion of the event we had. Once when you plan an event we had or a much larger event like the SB, you have to have every minute accounted for. I would also imagine that the NFL is afraid of bad performances. Pink wasn't feeling well the day of the Super Bowl. Since her vocals were prerecorded, she was still able to go out and lip sing to the national anthem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Levine didn't lip sync last year and he sounded terrible. Not that I'm a big Maroon 5 fan but, to me it was worse than full Mickey Axl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacdaniel Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Is the Miami show billed as one of the “all new show” shows? If so, we’ll probably get a good taste of what’s in store for the next 2 years or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still expensive yes, but not even close to €1000. And even so, the Stones give plenty of opportunities to get cheap tickets nowadays with the Lucky Dip tickets. So until GN’R starts doing some similar system to that, I really don’t see how they can be compared to the Stones.

I grew up in the time period you mention. Back then, ticket priced were cheaper, then again, so was everything else. Bands would make money at shows but also do well by actually selling an album too. Most people balk at having to pay 12 bucks for an album today. Rather steal it off the internet or just buy the 2 or 3 songs you like. They need to offset that someway. So you go out with more than 1 band and you get sky high prices. Look at the "cheap seats" for Motley, poison and Def. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
