Thanks, but I do realize his legendary status, having most all of his LP's. :-) I saw him maybe 20 years ago and he was cookin'. While perhaps not a difficult decision with the lack of alternatives, this one is still a tough call on a personal level. Thinking I'll go, though. I'm always a sucker for "it could be your last chance". :-) And, with him performing near San Francisco, he's almost as Way Out West as he'll get! Still would like to hear from anyone who's actually seen him lately.
