So, why doesn't TV think of booking one of these classic bands, even though not original, into TV for us, on a regular basis? I think we'd all be in agreement that we would pay if they did one of these every couple of months.

Most of these bands also have cover bands that replicate the music very faithfully.

Ahh, just dreaming I suppose....
Not dreaming at all. Before the pandemic, the Villages did bring some of these "bits and pieces" of classic bands to our corner of the universe. I've only been here a little more than a year, but I did see the Grassroots at the Savannah Center. Others that have been here include Peter Noone (Herman's Hermits), Fifth Dimension, Gary Puckett (who lives nearby) and many more. Maybe others can fill you in better on this.
