So I'm definitely going. Maybe four times. As many as I can. I'm taking contributions for the $1500 maximum meet and greet. You guys can make that happen. 150 people giving $10 each would get me there. C'mon, guys!
They say in interviews that this will be the biggest, baddest, loudest, most bombastic concert in the band's history.
I wonder, though. Gene will turn 70 during the tour. What are the real chances this will be that big? I can't imagine doing it once, much less 17 out of 28 nights in February, 19 out of 31 nights in March, 8 out of 30 nights in April and then head to Europe to do it again.
The plan (as I understand it) is to try to play every place they've ever played and then never go there again. If that's true then there should eventually be a Pensacola show. And maybe Mobile. They played there in the 70s.
Whatever you may think of the band, going out there night after night with the explosions, the makeup and 40-plus pounds of gear at that age and still sound even sort of okay? I respect that.
