love both of them. but wouldn't spend money to see either of them. concerts are just too much of a hassle now-a-days.

Both of those shows seem very reasonable. You guys go to many concerts?

If I was still into concerts, I would have no problem with those prices. I spent a couple of evenings with Gord at a small venue called Massey Hall in the day. Time very well spent, I like Eric to, but I'm not into live shows anymore. About 20 years ago I saw Gord in a bar, he was watching his nephew's band perform. The crowd saw him, and got him on stage to do a few songs. I figured I was in for a treat. And I was. The man was hammered. He started a song, forgot the words, then started calling the audiance a bunch of assholes for no reason. He was hustled off stage but continued to verbally abuse all as he was escorted out by the bouncers. I love the guy, but I guess this was one of the low points in his life at the time. Nice to see he is doing better now.

Clapton for $35? Well worth it IMO.

Both are too expensive for me. If I had to pick I'd go to the GL concert.

Lightfoot needs it more than Clapton?
