Jeez you must have fun when/if you go out,IanP! Firstly,what’s wrong with a band “making a few bob”? whether a tribute/homage band or not? Secondly, do you / have you ever played an instrument or been in a band? Your comment about “many famous songs aren’t too difficult to play” tells me not. The point of going to see a band is to have a good time, recall memories of stuff you like, have a bit of fun. Maybe that’s why he didn’t “sit in a comfortable armchair at home and listen to the original recording”. As Jarvo says live music delivers and, for me, any band, good or bad, who gets up and has a go, deserves support. Just my opinion.
