Concert ticket stories:
In '79, I paid $8.95 to see Frank Zappa do a nonstop 4-hour show.
A year later, just $14 bought a ticket to see The Kinks open for Queen.
That summer, I picked up a single ticket for $26 to see an early-October Led Zeppelin show in San Antonio, TX. But then the Army changed my travel schedule, keeping me out of TX until later in October, and I sold that ticket to a stranger for $35. Before September was over, John Bonham was found dead, and the ticket is now worth $1000’s.
