Almost 2,000$ for a 12-song set. Could be used in a dictionary as an explanation for the term rip-off

I'd rather use it as an example for "efficient". It would be a rip-off if nobody in the audience would know what to expect. But even the stupidest fan should know by now how those events work. Nobody can really be surprised by the length.

Those prices are ridiculous. But as long as enough people are willing to pay them they are obviously not high enough.

Gotta agree. If people are getting enjoyment out of it, so be it. The price includes the hote arrangements so it's not like they're plunking down that amount and getting just the show.

Yes, they are selling a trip and all that goes with it vs a concert/show. I wonder if there was Q&A too? I'd assume so. I had read that at the show in Dublin Jon had said (I'm paraphrasing) he wanted to play some of the new songs but refrained because he knew if he did it would be up on youtube in a flash.

It's basically just Jon mumbling through a verse and chorus while saying "I don't remember" about 4 times during that minute....

It's really a 10 song set considering that Little City and Thick as Thieves were a mumbled improvised verse and chorus each that was requested by a member of the audience. So maybe 10 and a half??

Mine too Deb - I love that song. Though after Dublin I would have expected him to brush up a bit.
