I can't see the attraction of seeing aging rock stars in large venues where you have to look at jumbotrons to see anything....

saw Crosby, Still, and Nash a few years back and honestly it was quite a shock....three, old, overweight guys....still sounded good but I prefer to remember them as they were

I adore Aerosmith, but their tickets are face value $300, scalper value $1000 (and I'm all for open markets for getting what one can for their own ticket in the resale market). Did I see them live?

No. Their 2013 full concert is free on youtube in high-def, I can google Chromecast it to my 70-inch HDTV; sit five feet away from the screen so that I can see if Steven Tyler's had a tonsillectomy; crank it through my 125-watt, 5.1 home stereo until my ears ring like church bells; drink Pabst Blue Ribbon for which I pay 50-cents a can; my truck parks free in my garage and I'll never come out and find a half dozen juveniles smoking reefer and treating my bumper like a saloon stool; I can wear my faded Aerosmith t-shirt from 1970, the one that reeks of mothballs and Aqua Velva, without someone begging me to buy a new one with a naked lady on it for fifty bucks; and I don't have to pee in the blue-waters of a filthy, portable, plastic outhouse.

At home, I just lie safely in my own excrement in the beanbag chair in front of the television until daybreak.

Aerosmith fans, here's the link!

The last concert, not counting Savannah Center, I went to was Grand Funk with all 3 members (Mark, Don & Mel) in 1998. Since then I have collected over 300 concert DVD's all professionally shot in wide screen and mostly filmed in the last 10 years. When played back on my 60" Vizio LED TV with a 6 speaker surround system that will blow you away, I have the best concerts right in my living room.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I don't see or hear very well. Maybe there is a market for CSN knockoffs at $30 a seat. If no one told me, I probably wouldn't know it wasn't them.
