George Michael: The Final Tour
I've been an enormous George Michael/Wham! fan my entire life, and now, the man behind Faith (one of my favorite albums ever) has announced that his current tour will be his last. When the shows were announced and tickets went on sale a few months back, I was on the fence about dropping the $200+ bucks on a seat, and now I'm kicking myself a bit for not doing it. Still, I can't justify dropping that kind of cash on any concert--those kind of ticket prices are outrageous! I'm going to a concert, not boarding a flight!
GM's announcement video is not embeddable on this blog, so instead here's something else you can watch--the '80s-tastic video for the George Michael classic, "Careless Whisper." Too bad I won't be seeing it live.
What's the most you've ever paid for a show? What's the top you'd pay, and to see who?

I not only love George enough to go see him, I am driving to Chicago since he is not coming to my city. I saw his Faith concert, and it was the best concert I had seen (Until I saw Prince). I didn't know it was his last concert, so now I am even more excited about going to see him.

I could be reading my own opinion here!
The problem I have is that I don't live anywhere NEAR the cities that he's touring. I might have spent the $200, but I would also have to drive and/or fly to get to it, then stay the night, ;-(
I'm so very, very sad that I never go to see GM, and now I never will. Thanks for the Careless Whisper video. I used to stay up all night to watch MTV (back when they played videos) so that I could watch this EVERY time it came up on rotation.
Those were the days...
