Get the clapton bit, but not the venue, thought it was good, I was in a box and was impressed at the level of hospitality, thought it was as good and probably better than City and similar. The sound is brilliant, I think its going to be best in class in the future. The VIP area is going to be a space where people feel special, it's like they are part of an experience that is a cut above what's on offer in similar environs.
He's well past his best and a Covid denier as well which was ridiculous at his age, he should have known better.
Agree on the covid front, but thought he was still a fantastic musician, sometimes you've got to separate a person's personal views and their ability, considering he's 79 he was fantastic. I've seen james Brown, Simon and Garfunkel, Stevie Wonder, McCartney, Springsteen etc and yes they weren't at their peak but I'm so glad i got to see them perform and take them for who they are at the age they are. One of the best bands I've seen recently was the waterboys, clearly they weren't the same as they were in the 80s but they will live long in my memory for being somebody I've grown up with and been emotionally invented in.
There's also voice balancing technology to improve fading chords, it's fair enough but I object to them charging the ridiculous admission fees for a shite, enhanced experience.
I'm definitely with you on Springsteen mate, he's the exception, only does about 150 minutes at the age of nearly 75 as opposed to the 4 hours he used to do.
Springsteen is a one off! He's unreal, worth every penny even now.
Fair comment as you've been there, tremendous guitarist but thought he was well on the wane vocal wise.
