Prices for MSG are $75.00 - $500.00
Prices for LA are $60.00 - $950.00
Getting into Stones territory pricing. Probably VIP stuff included.
I've never heard that. I do remember him saying that he didn't like touring because the nervousness of being onstage bothered his stomach. Must have been 10-15 years ago in an interview.Quote

Not that I care, cause Eric's great and I'd like him to continue, but what's been with the constant "I think this is it" the last 5 years or so? Is it just to sell tickets? Is there a hint of truth to it and he just keeps being well enough to keep playing? ...
Some sort of neurological issue affecting his hands, I believe. Glad he can still play.

That's your criteria for how much to pay for a concert? The number of musicians on a stage? Wow, you must be completely priced out of range at a Ringo and his All Star Band show.
No, that's my sense of honour. They're fun. You should get one!

Shared and valued only by yourself. My sense of "honor" and the life I've lived is something you can only dream about.

Yes pmk, the Forum has been fixed up and rather nicely I might add. Like you, I saw many concerts there back in the day, but not dating as far back as you. From the mid-late '70's on, the Fabulous Forum was home to some of the best concerts I've ever seen. The ARMS Benefit in 1983 ranks close to the top (Clapton, Beck, Page, et al), but there were many others that still have a place in my memories. After the renovation in recent years, I've seen some really great shows there - Neil Young, Steely Dan, David Gilmour, among others. My earliest memory of the Forum was when I was 8 yrs. old in 1971. My older brother was ballboy for the Lakers, and we met Chick Hearn. My bro then took me into the locker room to meet Jerry West, Happy Hairston, Gail Goodrich, and Wilt 'the stilt' Chamberlain along with the other greats of the '71/72 team.

I'm quite excited at the thought of seeing Eric C at the Forum.
Have very fond memories of seeing him at the Santa Monica Civic (2500 people capacity) with Derek and the Dominoes. They were GREAT!
But first, I shall rush to Amoeba in Hollywood this Friday to get the
Stones blues album. Which reminds me...if any LA people are reading this
got any favorite LA record shops here...I'm still mourning the loss of Aaron's
on Melrose!

I found the article I was thinking of. Peripheral neuropathy. Glad he can still manage to do some gigs, I've enjoyed him a lot over the years, especially at Crossroads II in 2007, the Blind Faith reunion with Steve Winwood in 2008, and RAH last year.

Whoops! Worst typo ever. Didn't intend to sully your honour, as we spell it here. Sense of "humour." Otherwise my comment stands. Dammit.
