Oh I have no problem that they are doing it. It just means the show doesn't work for me. My wife won't be able to go now. 9 month old at home and she will not be into spending $300 on 2 tix, plus almost the same amount on clothing rentals. This isn't including travel and hotel.

I could do it myself, but it would be weird getting dressed up like that and going stag without her.

that was my first journey concert! i was 15 years old & sooo excited that my uncle jerry bought us 3rd row center tix for this 1000 seat venue. tix were $50 each, which seemed extravagantly high at the time. it was a benefit to restore the palace of fine arts. i remember everyone was very elegantly dressed, drinking wine & nibbling on cheese in the lobby. i wonder if a bootleg exists of this show.

btw, don't call it frisco.

no, other than steve in his white tails, the band wasn't in tuxedos at the SF benefit. would be cool to see the guys all dressed up for the new orleans show.
