I know that piracy of music has forced acts to find new ways of making money and that their focus has shifted back towards live shows, which is great ....but £32.50 for Snow Patrol? £29.50 Florence and the Machine? £45.00 for Noel Gallagher? Even more on eBay. Something is going very, very wrong here.
Other than the fact that these gigs have sold out, what on earth can be the justification of these prices? When did going to see a band become a financially exclusive activity?
Rock n roll has truly lost it's rebellion and gigs are now the folly of the middle aged, middle classed and middle of the road. Live music needs a new revolution. Where are the new Sex Pistols or the next Levellers? Not far away, I hope.
