Yea, I saw the Vinyl Confessions tour as well. There again they had the misfortune of picking Survivor as their opening act, and they were white hot with "Eye of the Tiger" and were amazing. But while I pick on many of those bands like Kansas, REO Speedwagon, and Styx, they do hold a special place. Those were, and still are, troubadours. It's just fun to poke fun at them. I, too, have grown intolerant of large crowds. I'll GO, if it's and aisle seat and I can leave before the crowd. AND it's GOT to be an act I REALLY want to see ...and those are few and far between. Thanks for reading and the note!
