	Hi, I highly recommend seeing these shows ... in terms of quality of music and its representation, there is not ANYWHERE, including any classical music famous Joe or Mary, anything as well done as this and so beautifully played. It is by far the best "classical music concert" done by a rock band ... kinda think of it as a Beethoven, Stravinsky or a huge name in music saying goodbye and goodnight ... RF and those folks are not getting younger, and the chances of any other tour after these ... are probably rather small. This might not be the definitive lineup for you in this band, but in terms of its presentation, they are faithful and complete ... and deserve the attention. Highly recommended, and for many years, this band was not one of my favorites, but the ability and quality that you will see ... is second to none! People paid hundreds for a Pavarotti, or a Sills ... and seeing someone like this, is no different!
