    To see this show if all the karn-evil barker's claims are true?

    Step inside! Hello! We've the most amazing show
    You'll enjoy it all we know
    Step inside! Step Inside!
    We've got thrills and shocks, supersonic fighting cocks.
    Leave your hammers at the box
    Come Inside! Come Inside!

    Left behind the bars, rows of Bishops' heads in jars
    and a bomb inside a car
    Spectacular! Spectacular!
    If you follow me there's a speciality
    some tears for you to see
    Misery, misery,

    Next upon the bill in our House of Vaudeville
    We've a stripper in a till
    What a thrill! What a thrill!
    And not content with that, with our hands behind our backs,
    We pull Jesus from a hat,
    Get into that! Get into that!

    Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends
    We're so glad you could attend
    Come inside! Come inside!
    There behind a glass is a real blade of grass
    be careful as you pass.
    Move along! Move along!
    Come inside, the show's about to start
    guaranteed to blow your head apart
    Rest assured you'll get your money's worth
    The greatest show in Heaven, Hell or Earth.
    You've got to see the show, it's a dynamo.
    You've got to see the show, it's rock and roll ....

    Right before your eyes, we pull laughter from the skies
    And he laughs until he cries, then he dies, then he dies

    Soon the Gypsy Queen in a glaze of Vaseline
    Will perform on guillotine
    What a scene! What a scene!
    Next upon the stand will you please extend a hand
    to Alexander's Ragtime Band
    Dixie Land! Dixie Land!

    Performing on a stool we've a sight to make you drool
    Seven virgins and a mule
    Keep it cool. Keep it cool.

    We would like it to be known the exhibits that were shown
    were exclusively our own,
    All our own. All our own.
    Come and see the show!


    So how much would you pay?

    I'd much rather pay to somehow see ELP play the song instead of going to the actual damn show.

    welcome back my friend to the show that never ends, come inside, come inside.

    how much would they pay me?

    strangeness is wonderful. epicness ruins everything.

    others are welcome to enjoy if they wish.

    i perceived brain salad surgery as satyre of the nixxon era.

    that was when i had it on 8-track

    the only reason i would go to that show was if the only alternative was to actually attend an ELP concert.

    maybe once or twice a year i go to a movie. at least once, maybe twice, a year i'll go to a furry, anime, science fiction or model railroad convention.
    i might go to a music festival if i didn't have to travel very far to get to it. at any rate these are about the only things i'm likely to pay to get in.
    i'll go to indiginous big times sometimes too, but those don't usually charge anything.
    i have been to musical performances that were within conventions i was at,
    the filk sing bardic circles at sciffy cons, fox amore at blfc, that sort of thing.
    i think i've been to maybe two rock music performances in my life,
    and one orchestral. plenty of free music in the park and at renfaires, that sort of thing.
    oh and i guess i have paid to get in to ren faires. i'd almost forgotten about that, because its been several years.
    and then there were free perfomances on college campuses i've been to,
    though that was years ago; cat stevens and buffey st marie.
    and free performances at on campus earth day celebrations,
    mikaile and the little band, that sort of thing.
