A year and a half ago, Rebecca, Bostonian Stuart Munro and I went to NYC
(he drove the whole distance both ways) to see Merle at Tramp's. That's,
what, 9 hours of driving (and his car was literally falling apart on the
return trip) for 75 minutes of Merle. Neither of us felt cheated. (Of
course, it was easier for me.)
I can't imagine you'd enjoy it any less, but even if you did, it beats not
going and wondering. Or, worse, not going and then hearing later how good
it was.
