Shabbey Road @ Wagon Wheel, Quakertown 11/11 9pm, admission $0.

$0 is what Quakertown can afford

But seriously, these are the prices for arena shows. All the artists in those arenas, at one time, played small clubs where you could go see them for $10-$20, and see them up close. They might graduate or fall back to 1000 seat theaters for $40. Or even 400-seat theaters for $25. Where the sound is 100% better and the experience is 100% better. In some cases you could even meet the band, if you hung around.

But go ahead, pay $100 to see Stevie Nicks from two football fields away. (It's really the only way she'll look and sound like she did in 1977.)
