im back to the concert ticket stubs. lets see if i can recall anything.... :)
nope, not much..... but heres a quote from wikipedia
"a unique brand of hyperactive pop mixed with funk, punk, ska, reggae, baroque pop and art rock." and heres the link
photo is from wikipedia, taken after a show october 3, 1978. toronto
my stub doesnt say what year, but it would have been from around then going by the price
take a listen
next....emerson, lake & palmer
this first clip is not for the timid, but it sure does show how totally CUTE they were,
o and talented too...
this next one is just greg lake... awesome
this one is classic ELP, more recent ( they look older!)
listening to these brought back memories. and again, the price will reflect the year
kitchener, ontario canada.... kitchener auditorium
next...
heres a link
pretty cool stuff...... i wonder what i was doing that night....
that one was toronto, 1979
i love how some of these guys are connected by interchanging between bands
ahhhh, the old days of music.....

wow .. can't believe the prices on those stubbs.. I still have my stubbs [i think] from the few concerts I went to in my youth..
ReplyDeletegreat memories.. have a fab weekend.. xxx Julie
What a great idea and I did enjoy it. I still have my stubs from seeing tThe Beatles in 64 and 65...I got the best tickets at $5.50...I was a million miles away, but of course it was fab gear beyond measure.
ReplyDeleteGosh you have managed to save these stubbs all those years. WOW. great memories for you and so cheap, pity concerts are not that price any more.
ReplyDeleteI am not a hoarder at all so I have not got any such things.
It's great you kept those stubbs...must bring back some awesome memories...I have some stubbs too somewhere...must dig them up♥x
ReplyDeleteLaura, this is so weird and so cool: I was just out on the terrace in the sun, listening to my iPod and a real rarity surfaced in one of my very long New Wave playlists: XTC's "Senses Working Overtime"!! Then I come in to check up on blog activity, see that you've left me a message, I click on your blog and low and behold: XTC! Well, great minds quite obviously think alike! (Wasn't "Senses" a great song, too? What a great melody and pleasantly quirky lyrics.)
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great weekend. :-)

Fun, nostalgic post, Laura!!!
ReplyDeleteOh Laura,
ReplyDeleteMemories, memories. I have loads of ticket stubs....some that I don't even know what they were for !! My lovely friend Cynthia from Beatnheart beat me to it but, I too have my Beatles tickets from the '60's. I saw them twice as well. I still save some ticket stubs even now !!.....depending on what it was of course. Our son had tickets for Nirvana, but it never happened as the concert was scheduled for after he died. He still has the tickets. Those little bits of paper hold so much, don't they Laura ? XXXX
Those old tickets can really bring back some memories, I imagine!
ReplyDeleteMusic is a powerfull thing isn´t it, Laura?
Enjoy your day!
