Not so risky, but also not worth it to me.

<Sigh> I always wanted to see the Stones. And the Beatles. And Aerosmith.

Oh, well, at least I got to see Crosby Stills and Nash. And Jethro Tull. And Z.Z.Top. And even Beatlemania, which was almost like the real thing. I even dated a Joni Mitchell impersonator back in the 70's, so I can't say I was deprived of concert experiences.

Maybe they'll release a movie of one of the concerts. I'd pay to see that.
Saw MIck and the boys on what we thought was their final tour 4-5 years ago in Miami. Great show but would not go back to Joe Robbie, Hard Rock or whatever they named the stadium for a concert. Steven Ross(Dolphin's owner) installed partial roof over it and created an echo chamber. U2 in Vegas now looks like a bargain.
