In the past, the team has also been entitled to a % of the food and beverage revenue sold during the concert

There is a $150,000 rental cost for the stadium which has been paid by a company named Ohio Valley Entertainment. The manager signing on behalf of Ohio Valley Entertainment is ...Katie Blackburn. It is assumed that OVE is a Bengals subsidiary.

All in all though, the Bengals should reap several million dollars in cash for JoeyB's future raise

In case you haven't heard. She's a MAJOR draw.

It's nice to see the Bengals earning from this. Do many artists use PBS (not the other name) for concerts?

Not a TS fan at all.  I think her music is mediocre at best, then then.....

I'm 50+ and have never understood the hype of the Stones, Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath.

People like what they like.

John Paul is definitely the least recognized, but I don’t know enough to know how good each one is individually, I just like the whole. I like the story of how John Paul joined the band where his wife said Jimmy was putting together a new band and he should go try out or whatever. He said he was doing pretty well as a studio musician, but thought what the hell. Something like that.

Page was a highly paid studio guitarist who was one of the best guitarists to ever live when he wasn't high on heroin. Jones can play about any instrument out there, and arranged most of their music and still works as an arranger. They say Bonham's power came from his days as a bricklayer, but he had one of the fastest foots out there.  His triplets are legendary still. He reportedly only drank that heavy when they toured, because he missed being home. Sad that he passed. Zeppelin was a perfect storm of talent.
