The "good old days" ! scary thought, what we are living thru now someday will be someone's "good old days" ! KarenB in central Florida (First Grad. Class Garinger - 1960)
KB - Garinger Class of '60!? You've really seen it all!
$6.50 for a Doobie Brothers concert? Imagine going on StubHub and trying to find a Jennifer Hudson or Miley Cyrus ticket for that.
Of course, my $45K job probably paid $9K in 1978.
James Edgar - those were the days, right? I remember seeing 3 bands for that price in the '70s. And being able to buy tix at the Coliseum box office -- no service fees. Miss those days!
OMG first one is Queen.... earlier shots they had better hair!
we were throwing razor blades on stage at Freddie with this look..
one appearance in charlotte...what a great show.....
i actually help orgainize their American convention every year...
I saw the Doobies at App State 1972..$3.00. They had just released the Toulouse Street album!
Queen also performed at the old Charlotte Coliseum (now Bojangles Arena) in the summer of '79 or '80. I remember the concert program saying that the band normally toured the U.S. during the winter and that this was their first warm-weather U.S. tour. Helluva show. I walked out of their convinced that Brian May was the best guitarist on the planet. I'm still not entirely convinced he isn't.
*there
