I saw them on January 19, 1964 at the Coventry Theatre .....
In those days, they looked like this:
Dave Berry is one of my favourite singers of all time - in 1964, he had his biggest hits "Memphis, Tennessee"and "The Crying Game" with "Little Things" released the year after. In 1964, Dave Berry and the Cruisers looked like this:

It's what he and the band do very well and they put on a great stage show. Good luck to them!
Please accept that if some people wish to buy tickets at those prices it's entirely up to them. They wouldn't have a go at some of your interests.
You need to use the "IMO" a little more I think, Muddy! Each to their own and stop being a grump will you?!
Well I think it's pretty obvious that's it's my opinion
Sorry I see nothing to admire in someone like Mick Jagger as far as I know he has done nothing for this world except bring too many children into an already overcrowded planet .
Blimey does not gushing over some self centred old has been make me a grump ?
Sobeit!

A self centred old has been?
Well he's brought me a load of fun, can't speak for anyone else obviously!
Singing along to any of the Stone's hits makes me feel anything but grumpy!
