No, I'm not going. I recently watched one of their concert DVDs and it was pretty boring.



They haven't had a hit in about 25 years.

Most of the old farts coming through MTS Centre haven't had a hit in 30 years or longer! Some even haven't had any new material in 25 years, and people still pay to see them.

Last "hit" looks like 1980 or so...30 years ago. number 60 something on the charts is not a hit. LOL

I may go to ZZ Top depending on ticket prices, I have never seen them so it may be worth it. If I do go, it will be last minute.

I saw them around 1989 or so, at the old Arena. I had a good time.

The afterburner tour, with all of the laser beams? That was a pretty good concert.

I saw them one other time much later on opening for somebody else. I have no need to seem them again, although I still like them ... especially their pre-Eliminator stuff.

The Eagles? Yes, however as solo artists three of them have had hits since .. but most of those were still in the 80s. You can probably count on some of those solo hits coming out at the concert.

Not selling very well at all. I'm not surprised. They've been off most peoples radar for a long time.
