You know, I saw them in 1979 and there was maybe 1500-2000 people. Saw them in the 80s and there would have been well over fifteen THOUSAND. Saw them recently in Detroit and that little place was packed! Had to be eight thousand there! When we go to the Vegas show in a couple weeks, I doubt there will be more than three or four thousand, if that. They just do not draw well here. I suppose that could be indicative of their popularity now. I mean, they are not going to draw 20 thousand anymore and they know that. The music is not as popular. I saw today that Beyonce is doing THREE shows here and the first two are sold out. Tickets are $1100 a PIECE!!! YEESH!!
They are great at what they do and will always have a following but, as I have often mentioned, the public by and large are idiots. They would not know good, quality music if it were shoved up their...... well, you get the idea. Thus the proliferation of the Britney Spears and Lady Gagas of the world.
