| (EZ-Tracks) - Despite the recession, rock and roll tours are as popular as ever, according to a Billboard.com report. The report said that for the time period beginning November 14, 2007 and ending in May 2008, the Bon Jovi tour raked in the most money grossing $112.4 million.
‘The fact is that [Bon Jovi] are still current musically and have consistently delivered a live show that has very few equals in terms of musicianship, spectacle and gigantic hits," said Randy Phillips, CEO of the tour’s producer-- AEG Live. "Whatever concerns I had initially that they might have chosen to go back on the road too soon after the last equally successful tour were quickly dispelled by the early public on-sales." AEG Live also produced the second-highest-grossing tour of the period, the Spice Girls reunion, which took in more than $70 million from 45 shows. Coming in third for this time period is the Police reunion tour, which topped all touring charts in 2007 and likely will top others before 2008 is done, according to Billboard. Other top ten finishers included Miley Cyrus, Bruce Springsteen and Michael Buble. | ||||||||||||
