Bunch of legends in this lineup. Are they trying too hard? Aiming for the hipsters 20 year olds who feel nostalgia for songs created in the 70's? Will this even be good? Neil young is the only one still writing music...

Discuss whether or not you will ask mom and dad for 1600 to stand in the pit and watch elderly men have heart attacks on stage

saw this and was confused about who they were marketing it towards. 20 year old festies or the rich older people who actually grew up listening to the artists in the lineup? either way too expensive for me but a cool lineup

Both... that's what makes it viable now, their music is popular again

There will always be people who are willing to pay. I know someone who paid $1500/ticket for stage side tickets to New Kids on the Block....

McCartney is fucking dreadful now. Dylan has an awful live set. Saw The Who twice though, albeit coming up 10 years ago now, but they were awesome. Never really cared for Neil Young. Roger Waters will just play The Wall as if it's some classical symphony that needs to be played to exact precision, devoid of any of the character that made Floyd great (take Echoes for example, that track was literally written during live sets).

I don't go to gigs to see rehearsed acts playing music how it was recorded. I want to see them build on it. Take David Gilmour's solo during Comfortably Numb on the PULSE live record, or Led Zeppelin 'Since I've Been Loving You' at MSG.

For that line up 1600 isn't even bad. I paid 580 to be front row at the stones a few years back and I fucking loved it.

Neil Young is burnt out. Saw him at Farm Aid last fall and it was hard to watch. He sang his fucking political agenda and totally skipped out on the many good songs he's written.
