Hmmm...

Looks like the whole stadium pretty much diamond/199 shmackos...

Few "BYO binoculars" called "gold" and "silver"

He's a once-in-a-lifetime musician, but that's a lot of dough...

word Blush. when something like this comes along you have to shelve the expense angle and just go otherwise you will regret the rest of your life.

i didn't go to Herbie Hancock and I'm still kicking myself.

The "retail" prices aren't bad... it's all these pre-sale offers that are too expensive.

$200 for Diamond isn't too pricey, and I'll see you guys there ;)

yep. that was so worth the wait. I had my doubts that he could still hit the high notes, but holy shit he showed me!

Had crappy seats but couldn't help but rock out hard. The oldies in front of us even kicked in with some pretty serious power-swaying when he played I Just Called.

Def. in the top 10 gigs I've seen.
