Most of these concerts in the 70's and 80's cost about $10 a ticket. Sleeping out on the sidewalk a couple of days in advance to get tickets at the local Ticketmaster location was all apart of the ''experience''.
Best concert location was an outdoor venue in Pinecrest County Club in Shelton, Connecticut.
Worst place was New Haven Coliseum, a real ****hole and the cops were Nazi Stormtroopers! Still have a scar from The Who concert.
Great memories and hours worth of stories and tales...
