Miss(ed) YouThem Too

Missing everything today.
The band is set to perform Saturday night at the Echoplex before a sold-out crowd that will be miniscule compared to the thousands who are set to see them launch their tour May 3 at the Staples Center.

Tickets were sold for $20 each — a fraction of what tickets to the tour will cost.
Yes, we'd've paid US$20 to see these wretches before the next one dies.
Too late! The one on the right is already dead.
What if one of them keels over onstage right there at the Echo? We'd really be kicking ourself then.

And are they scared of something? Judging from the Nuremberg rally level of security they must be.
Buyers were limited to one ticket, and were required to show a government-issued ID, pay with cash, wear a wristband with their name on it and be photographed. Their names will be verified at the venue, which has a capacity of about 700. Cameras and smartphones will not be allowed inside.
Nagonna happen:
The lowest price for tickets to the show at the Staples Center, which has a capacity of about 20,000, is $250.

20 bucks is too much.

There is more than one Mt. Pleasant cem' ... Toronto, Seattle, long island? Sioux Falls, Arlington, Westchester? You may be pleased to know the Toronto one is first in Google.

(We saw Ringo at the IHOP on Sunset once.)

20 bucks is more than worth it. Might've gotten close enough to spit on one of 'em, & we wouldn't've minded hearing Watts pound the tubs in person.

Hmpf. GG Allin was only ten bucks or so here in Milwaukee, back in the day, and he threw his own shit on the audience (which you ought to particularly appreciate, MB).

Hey now, we only deal in images, not the real shizz.

Angry Samoans predecessor Vom threw a bunch of sheep eyes in an audience once. Had to harvest them from a medical supply co. Wasn't cheap.

Anyhoo, may not have missed that much. A link to some links of the event for anyone who cares.

There are dumps in this town where one fancy-ass cocktail will run you US$20.00, so that much for a gig seems reasonable.
