[QUOTE="donna723, post: 568192, member: 1883"] I don't know, Janet. I don't think it was their age that stopped them. The Stones can still keep up. It was only a few years ago that they played a full concert in Nashville - I know lots of people that went to that one. They've always looked a bit "rough", even when they were all young! A bit of a funny ... sort of. I have always LOVED Eric Clapton and now he's doing a concert in Nashville. I would KILL to go to that, even though I knew we'd never actually do it. Just for fun I went online to see what tickets would cost. OMG! The very cheapest seats, waaay up in the nosebleed sections, were $99. The best seats, in the two sections right in front of the stage, were [U]$895 EACH[/U]! As a comparison, "way back when" we once paid $8 for very good seats to see Jimi Hendrix! Doesn't help that my ex (the first one) was just telling me how he once spent an entire evening playing and jamming in a lounge with Eric Clapton! (Had I known that was coming, I might not have divorced the fool!) The ex was (and still is) a singer and guitar player and this band he was sitting in with was playing in a very nice lounge in West Palm Beach. The first few nights they saw this guy with short hair and a full beard sitting at the bar all evening, not drinking much, just sitting there. They didn't even recognize him. Nobody did. On about the third night, the lounge owner comes on stage and says that Eric Clapton was there and was going to sit in!
