...live, but Tom Waits, in my opinion, will be worth it. I could give two shits about Madonna and anyone crazy enough to shell out $350 to see her dance, well, what can I say?
Most of the stuff I like won't be found in large arena and won't be charging a pile of money. I made an exception for the last Wilco show and ditto for the $71 I paid for the Echo ticket for their 30th anniversary show, but again, those were special circumstances.
