Tribute Bands. Are they worth it?

This is a subject I have been meaning to write about for a while, but my article is inspired by Alex Markham’s fantastic article below about tribute bands and a Tom Waits cover band that he saw in Valencia that turned out not to be a real tribute band but a group of good musicians playing Tom Waits’ songs. Alex Markham commented that it was a good night of live music for him and his wife.
