Tickets started at $35. Why on earth would anyone bother to go listen to a bunch of amateurs, pretending they were the real thing?

Because it was free? Because it was a 15 min golf cart ride away? Because it was better than staying home?
I like to experience live cover bands, especially when they can imitate the real thing. Saw an AC-DC cover 10 years ago in Vegas. The lead singer looked a little like Bon Scott; lanky white dude, dark shoulder length frizzy hair, wore the sleeveless jeans jacket, and he also sounded close enough to him. They did the whole Back in Black Album using a Bon Scott sound-alike voice. Even though I like Brian Johnson a lot, was very very cool. The lead guitar didn't look like Angus, but he played close enough for me.
So yeah, it was entertaining for free and that's what I signed up for.
