I can see one of these tours happening for Dio..........it would be totally mind blowing to see musicians get together on a tour and do tribute Dio covers.

They came through here earlier this year and everything I heard about it was pretty positive. Great renditions by all of the artists involved.
Wish I would have gone.
Yep, that.

Re: Jimi Hendrix Experience 2010
Great guitar work and everything, but its not Hendrix. The Hendrix family and other business associations with Jimi, have already raped what little music he hadn't performed yet as well as NUMEROUS live recordings. Tribute is good, but a full on tour with ticket prices and Official association with the Hendrix brand and no contribution from the original creators...i dunno it just doesn't seem right to me.

* I'm not sure why you think "it doesn't seems right" to you. It's a tribute to Jimi. It is not disguised as anything BUT a tribute.
* Ticket prices should be expected because it costs money to go on a full stage tour like this. I wouldn't expect anyone to do that for free. Remember, this isn't a bunch of local yocal wannabe's doing this stuff, but rather well known artists putting their own name on the line and on the bill.
* "no contribution from the original creators". Well, considering that Jimi, Mitch and Noel are all dead, that would be pretty damn tough to do.
* And I'm also not sure what you mean by "the Hendrix brand".

Reminds me of when a bunch on Aussie artists toured the country on "The Beatles White Album tour".
Just a bit of fun, unfortunately I was in Sydney when they played Adelaide, so I missed it
() but I see no problem with it.

I know where your coming from. I was being honest about how I felt. It was a personal opinion like the many others here, mine was just less positive. I appreciate what the artists are risking and promoting. I also appreciate the work that goes into it. I understand the effort, I just don't understand the purpose. Like you say the original creators are all dead, for me that doesn't mean that its immediately acceptable when a couple of well known artists decide its a good time to tribute Hendrix.
Yes its cute and it shows respect, it also promotes the awareness of Jimi, but its sad that a 'tribute tour' is something that is needed to keep him in the minds of people or show respect. I have a very different opinion on the issue than most people I guess.
What I meant by 'the hendrix brand' is what his family posthumously did to his image and his unreleased discography. Putting his face on t-shirts at wall mart was the camels back breaker for me. Old performances I have no problem with, but all of his studio stuff being chopped up and sold like the last rations of a starving man I had a problem with. I haven't heard hardly any of his posthumous stuff, aside from the live performances. Don't really want to at this point anyway. My opinion doesn't really matter man, I'm just another dude.

Gotcha. Your opinion is no less or more noteworthy than anyone elses. I wasn't trying to give you any grief, just trying to understand what you meant.
