[QUOTE="scratch, post: 356182, member: 1674"] Here, I dug out a few of my old concert ticket stubs. Wkmac may have been at one or two of these, the dates and prices are 1975-1981. The first one is Rod Stewart and Faces. Ron Wood played lead guitar and would later join the Rolling Stones. A little known band named Aerosmith was the opening act, they had a new album called "Toys In The Attic". They rocked big time. Guitarist Jeff Beck was the second act that night. This concert was 10/19/75, a week after I started working at UPS on the Midnight Sort. $6.00 The second one is The Who, I love them. I have seen them three times. One of the greatest bands in concert. Pete Townsend is a great guitarist, did his leaps, windmills, and busted his guitar on the stage at the end. Toots and the Maytails, a reggae band, were booed off the stage. I went to work pretty messed up that night. $7.50 The third one is "The Cockroaches", who were really The Rolling Stones. This was 1978, the year the album "Some Girls" came out. They played at small venues on this tour, the Fox Theater in Atlanta is an old movie theater that holds about 3400 people. I like the Stones over Led Zeppilin any day. Very good show. Patti Smith was the opener. $10.00 The fourth one is "The Champagne Jam", at Georgia Tech's Grant Field. The Atlanta Rhythm Section was a headline, I can't remember the other four or five bands. Mother's Finest was probably there. The last one is Dan Fogelberg. Fantastic musician, his "Netherlands" is probably my favorite album of his. I later married the girl I took to this show. 1981, $11.00 I have a bunch of other ticket stubs. Paul McCartney, The Allman Brothers, Eagles, Black Sabbath, Bad Company, Led Zeppelin, Uriah Heap, Foghat. Deep Purple, ZZ Top, Springsteen, etc. I don't go to concerts anymore, unfortunately. My wife has different tastes in music. I did go to a show with my oldest son a couple of years ago, it was Green Day on their "American Idiot" Tour. I enjoyed them. [ATTACH=full]348[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
