I just got done discussing concerts with a group of friends and all of us are in our sixties…we were comparing what it was like in our teens and twenties going to concerts all the time for around 18 dollars to 50 dollars for concert tickets…I saw a jillion bands growing up in high school and college…the teens and twenties of today don’t have that freedom…tickets are way up.

I saw Led Zeppelin and Judas Priest together for $10 and that was considered a high price at the time (1977).

I paid just $7.50 to see Bruce Springsteen at his legendary concert at San Francisco’s Winterland. It’s said by many that was the best concert he ever gave.

I still like going to shows but it’s like $100 for a good act and that is kind.
Kick up against streaming because it’s killed the music industry! Like spotify gives you .00003 cents or something for a play…unless your Taylor Swift your not getting dick off the streaming services so your touring and your making money on merchandise.
So sad. So much good music gets lost to the world simply because of dumb politic and streaming.
I still buy music on my itunes and don’t stream music even though I’ve subscriptions that do that I can access.
I saw Heart, The Rolling Stones, the Eagles, Aerosmith, Foghat, cheap trick, Kiss a few times, Ted Nugent before he was a jerk…Styx, Rush, tom petty and the heartbreakers, Frank Zappa, the Pretenders, the Go go’s…jimmy cliff…Waylon Jennings, Jerry Jeff Walker, and others.
I used to see bands all the time
Lost contact with the friends I’d go with
Now I only really go if I have not seen them
Prices are crazy!
