rock , blues, country, what ever.

are there ten that you would pay $150.00 to see in a 5000 seat auditorium?

Not ten that are currently alive.

5000, no. 500, possibly.

We’re blessed to have so many good musical acts around the state that it’s not hard to find a concert local to you in a small venue and with a minimal cover charge/entrance fee.

I was walking down the street in Ft. Worth one night on my way to Billy Bobs to see Asleep at The Wheel. I passed a saloon with a sign that said, "Appearing Tonight, Gary P. Nunn". I immediately headed in the door as Gary P. has always been a favorite. I'd pay $150 for that night again . Well worth it.

I agree.

The musicians that are still around that I would have an interest in seeing don't charge 150 bucks. Now if Billy Gibbons and his boys decided to play a small 250 capacity nightclub for 150 bucks, yeah, I'm in.

Stevie Ray Vaughn

Other than that unless it is some special with front row seats, back stage pass and a free CD and t shirt > I am hard pressed to spend that on ANY artist today.

I still remember to getting great seats for under $20 and that is when they are in their PRIME.
{sigh}

Early ZZ Top?

I'd pay that to see George Strait

I am talking a premier venue now, with great acoustics,
not some side room in a casino.

I saw Billy Gibbons play , on his blues tour at a casino in Iowa , the acoustics were terrible,

the absolute best place to be was 14 feet from the back wall , 130 feet from the stage.

had I paid for the tickets, I'd be asking for my money back.

I'd go see Kelly clarkson, ZZ top, Lyle Lovett and Geo. Strait


On a list ( I found on line) of the top 50 texas performers, 20 of them are indeed dead
