Lanegan tribute concert was a blast. Dave Gahan, Josh Homme, Bobby Glilespe, Alison Mosshart, Greg Dulli, Crissie Hynde but it was Duke Garwood that blew everyone offstage.
Silly money for a tshirt but at those sort of one off gigs I don't mind.
But they have lifestyles to keep up and releasing records makes no money anymore and your own tour costs a fortune.
These heritage acts rinse the festival circuit because it works for them. Lower costs on touring, some money fir the gig and a summer bump on album sales to that key middle aged demographic who will still buy albums.
I mean look at that Victorious festival in Portsmouth. What a hodge podge bunch of performers that is.
Run by Shedian Smiths management company. Small team but do well as these older acts need the cash that festivals provide.
Anyway, off to Lanegan tribute concert tonight
