No it wouldn't be at all. I saw those early tours, Selling England and
Lamb, and the next two, er not so exciting. Seeing a synthetic Phil
Collins sounds worse than death. Did they have a dorky guitar player with
horn rims?
Sorry this whole concept is well beyond comprehension... at least to me...
I was appalled when I went to see a band my brother was told was good. The
headliner was "Super Diamond" a fccing Neil Diamond trib... arg. It's the
Beatlemania syndrome. People accepting these things blindly.... I didn't
let Marshall Creanshaw off easy about that when I interviewed him. He said
he was sort of embarrassed about it....
Tribute bands are another cause for the slow death of original live
music... video gambling is another...
now I must go take a shower to get the suspect smell of talk of trib bands
off me.
