Lefsetz has it bang on, and I mostly concur with jerboa's thoughts. I too received a freebie for the Roger Waters show and while it was certainly at a high level of entertainment value (easily the best SOUNDING arena show I've ever heard - at the freakin' Rogers Centre!) it was just another go round the old catalogue for the most part. Another chance for some people to say "hey I got to go see a legend". Whatever that's worth. And Roger Waters must love it. Look for him to go back on the road in 2008. Lefsetz's points re the likes of Neil Young and Dylan are also spot on. When I caught the CSNY shows a year or so ago they were inspired, on fire, but why? Not because they got to do "For What It's Worth" for the nth time. Because Neil brought nine or so new songs to the table, most all from Living With War. It was NEW! It was current. Most of the audience didn't know about it, didn't want to know, but just like giving them Greendale back in 2003, Neil just took the ACC stage and did what HE wanted to do. Revved up the whole band around him in doing so. How can you not respect him for it? The whole reunion thing is weird. You'd think it would be limited to the 60's/70's bands/artists, but check it again: Depeche Mode and Duran Duran do boffo business all around the world. Although they never broke up, Bon Jovi continues to pack arenas almost everywhere. I am absolutely sure the LZ show was a blast, and they were inspired and on their games. But imagine if Zeppelin had taken the stage and opened with two or three NEW songs. The last thing those 20000 people would have expected, or expected to pay for. That would really grab my attention.
