The Stones pay Chuck Leavell even when they're not touring?! Now that is an

interesting tid-bit I didn't know about! Nice work if you can get it.

Just checked this morning and now you can be in the upper deck in Chicago for $109 plus fees. Hmm, that's strange. Much better than it was last week. But with the blasted fees it takes them to about $150 each. I guess that isn't horrible and the sight lines at The united Center are quite good. I think I'll just sit and wait. The shows aren't for six months anyway. And there are a whole lot of tickets available, especially for the second night. There's also a chance I could win them from one of the two rock stations here. I've gotten into several shows here that way. Actually I almost ate two tix to a TTB show because I won front row seats and had already bought mine at The Chicago Theatre. Finally found someone to take mine. I gave them to this guy for half price and he offered me more than face. 

Not sure I would walk across the street to see the 80's version of Genesis, unless they had all the puppets perform  the whole show ,ala' "Land Of Confusion."  And also since we are living in an era of exorbitant ticket prices.
