Interesting. I heard a while back that artists get to do what they want with "x" amount of seats per venue based on contract. I always suspected some got scalped or bought by business (for big $$) to entice clients, etc. Never thought it would go this far.
But he does have a member of our extended family in his line-up... Ron Tutt!!! I've spoken a few times with ND's guitarist and Ron says those were great days playing with Jerry and Kahn and Merl and Martin. After a years from Elvis to now Diamond he still looks back with fond memories says alot!
