Doing a small tour with legendary preformers like Cooper, Tyler etc. might be worth it to him. It's an exciting idea and the chemistry between them must have been great.

I think he would need those big names if he wants to tour if sales for the charity show he is doing tomorrow are any indication. Looks like the venue is 500 seats and there are still 240 tickets available.

How would sales from this show be any indication at all? He's appearing with 9+ other performers so he's play 1? Maybe 2 songs? He was also added to the bill just 3 days ago. Sales from his failed Aftermath tour would be an indication but not this.

He was added to the posters from MM before the Christmas holiday, But that's not that big of a deal as when I just checked VIP is sold out - that's 1/2 of the venue rows 1-8. Only 16 deep and I don't see how anyone could tell how many are left unless you tried to order 100? I think the venue holds about 500. I'll try to post a pic of the room. Not sold out but I'd be surprised if it didn't. MM has a pretty large support group. Luke Ebbin tweeted a few days ago that the AMOL band was together, so I suspect they will do several songs. Wish I could be there to give a live report.,

This does have per twitter some going and traveling way out of my budget just for Richie but it's also a solid/reputable charity and that will draw some people regardless of the performers. The performance is also being held at the Hollywood Musical institute so you know students will go as it was originally promoted as a group of the greatest guitarists. I hope it sells out.

If you go to the ticket page and pull down the menu for the number of tickets you want, the number it goes up to is the number of tickets left.

Thanks, learn something everyday. I really hope it sells out, not just for RS but for the mission. It's a shame his "home town" doesn't seem to show him the love he gets in other places - even before this years events. He can come back to the East coast any time by me - but he'll never leave LA as long as Ava has actress/model/LA dreams.

She's amazing. I bought her album and Bon Jovi's album just prior to a road trip last March. They came out the same day. I think part of what contributed to my extreme disliking of WAN was how much her album kicked it's ass. Great talent. Killer guitarist.

As for last night's benefit, I've yet to stumble upon any videos but through her Twitter I'm hearing it was a 50 minute set. Played Wanted, Undiscovered Soul, Seven Years Gone, among others obviously. Hopefully we'll get to see/hear them all soon!

Undiscovered Soul? Really?

Setlist:
Taking A Chance, Lean On Me, Heaven Help Us(short)/Stranger, 7 Years Gone, Midnight Rider(short)/Wanted, Prayer

Great show and chemistry with Orianthi.
