Greg, check this out, in 1978 I paid 20.00 for Bob Dylan at the Akron Civic Theater. We were "highly" awarded with a stellar show
. That was a LOT of money in 78' but it was cool. My first concert was Pink Floyd in 1972 for free, Tammy and I saw Styx, Def Leppord a few weeks ago for free too.
Oh, dude let me tell ya..
One of my first shows was a Kiss show. On the same day the Pope was in Des Moines Iowa. Oct 4, 1979
You could pray to God, then listen to God of Thunder. I did.
At Living History Farms, I heard the Pope speak, and at Vets I heard Paul Stanley Shout it Out Loud.
I have seen most of em from my time.
Pink Floyd 2X
The Who 2X
The Stones 3X
The Eagles, Reo, Styx, McCartney, Genesis, Clapton, Garth, Kansas, 38 Spec, Moody Blues, Zappa 2X, The Dead, Van Halen, Foghat, et all.
My GF won a years worth of free tickets in 1995, (from a local radio staiton, KGGO95,) for every concert in their listening area. I saw one of the more rare concert tours that ever happened.
We saw almost 60 concerts that year. including a few mentioned above, but the most memorable, was a band named Boston (although not all of the original members) on the Walk On tour.
They toured twice, and I had the pleasure of seeing them sitting in one of the soundcheck target seats in Hilton Colosseum in Ames Iowa. .
Anyone else that tells you they saw Boston, I would love to meet, and I wish I bought a tour shirt that night.
Oh, I was also in attendance at Vets Auditorium in Des Moines when Ozzy bit the head off the bat.
