In vogue on the road

[desdemona]

Nostalgia wafts over the season's live musical offerings, whether it's the 20-year menus of Madonna and Prince or the broader buffets of David Bowie, Rod Stewart and Carole King. Despite a comparatively short career, No Doubt plans a hits retrospective, as does Van Halen in the comeback of its lineup with Sammy Hagar.

Bygone hits are hitting the road. And judging by ticket action, those hits are hip.

"These older acts built their fan bases by touring, and people know they're going to get a great show," says Ray Waddell, who covers touring for Billboard. "It's a phenomenon we've never seen before: parents and kids going to the same show. Kids in my generation didn't want to see Mitch Miller. But kids now want to see bands from the '60s and '70s. Those bands are going to play 20 hits and play them well. What can a baby band do, play a medley of its hit?"

Does the picture say "open for business" or is it just me?

I do smell something, and there are a large amount of flies hanging around.

You know what they say, "When you get past the smell you've got it licked." :)
