Went to the Beck tour in St. Louis. Same story, sold maybe 7,000 tickets in a place that holds 20,000.
Would've much preferred seeing him in a place that holds 2,500.
Just came back from Nashville, went to see the Stones exhibit, really cool. I did go to the one they had in the R&R Hall of Fame 6 years ago, this was better though that was cool too.

I guess they thought the 3 of them would draw a bigger crowd. I plan on seeing the Stones exhibit tomorrow afternoon.
Funny stuff because after Nashville on Friday We are headed to St Louis to see Skynyrd and Hank Jr. on Saturday.!

Ha ha, I'm going to that too! Sitting in the lawn...trying to decide whether to wear my old Hank shirt or my new Swampers shirt I bought at Muscle Shoals last summer.

I know I am beating a dead horse. But the Venue in Nashville Jeff Beck is at only has a capacity of 9700. So wowsa even more so poor ticket sales ...I am guessing the have sold less than 2500 tickets ...I acutally looked at the map and did a little math.
Disappoints me only because I think the bigger and louder the crowd the better the show.
Great Seats for $36 each and no takers.
I suspect that they tarp all the upper level seats and give those people an upgrade

Go with the Hank Shirt!
I just saw him a few weeks ago in Tulsa. He is always fun. Skynyrd I have mixed emotions about because not really Skynyrd. But I love the music.
So lots of cold beers for me at this one!

Agree Bleedingman - it's an off-putting lineup. Add to the fact the only show near me was down in Orange County (apprx. 100 miles), the thought of driving through the claustrophobic L.A. traffic to even get there made it a no-go for me. I last saw him on a co-headliner show with ZZ Top at the Greek Theater in L.A., and it was a nice match-up and seemed to have been sold out. But the best places I've seen him are when he's headlining on his own - from small old theaters, the House of Blues, Indian casinos, etc., etc. Hoping he returns to my area again without all the unnecessary baggage - I guarantee I'll be there.

Yeah, the only reason I went was my 17 year old son has never seen Beck and he doesn't come around much, and I felt he should see the best guitar player ever. Plus I got the tickets for $20. Wasn't a big fan of Paul Rodgers but he was really good. Ann Wilson... Well seen Heart a few times back in the 80's so was disappointing to me.

Bad news, my Hank shirt is from the '97 tour...a little tight on me these days!
Going with my Muscle Shoals Swampers shirt!

I don't understand what Ann Wilson is even doing on this tour! She is singing 90% cover songs by other bands and only a couple of Heart songs!Isn't John Bonham's sister the opener for these shows?

Nashville was a small crowd but a good crowd. And I don't think it changed the bands attitude.
It was a strange line up but worked for me.
And I know everyone has their own opinion.
To me Beck is best.
There is no live album or video that can make you feel what you feel when you see him live.
It's been a while since I had seen him and I had forgotten how he controls that guitar.
The sounds he gets out of it are like no other.
I enjoyed the entire show.

Was surprised he used a Hendrix 'flipped' Strat for the whole show (and apparently the whole tour), especially since he has his own much more expensive model!
Skynyrd/Hank Jr. were good as well, Hank did a longer show than his other opening slots and threw in several songs he hasn't played elsewhere.
