Not too shabby. And there's even some basic proletarian gear mixed in there like fender ss amps etc., and also stuff that didn't go for insane $$. I'm surprised that soldano/cornish 80's rig only went for $32.9k. I saw EC w/ Knopfler at the meadowlands back on that tour using that rig, had to borrow a pair of binocs to suss out what those heads were "ahh, sol-da-no, it must be Italian!" ;^)

Always better to see big bucks thrown around for a good cause, as opposed to say a ziplock bag of Madonna's leftover french fries, heh heh.
