Well, that's interesting. I know in Chicago he had no problem selling tickets for his all star band tours. I never saw any of them, but what piqued my curiosity was that there were always different members for each tour, which guaranteed a different show every time.
--- AlCzervik: Yes he also toured out here in the western part of Canada some years back and people seemed to like him and his show.
I remember Ringo Starr played a concert town once. Couldn't even give those tickets away.
I mean literally. I tried.
I worked at a restaurant. I set a giant stack next to the cash register with a sign "Free tickets. Help yourself!" Nobody touched them.

Thanks for the posts.
Varelse 1: Yeah that is kind of odd, did he have his All-star group with him ?
