I rely on memory, which is increasingly unreliable.  I find that I now bore people with long rambling and increasingly inaccurate histories of my early concert going experiences.  At least back in the day I would have bored them with accurate recall.

  I’m always amazed when someone likeBrett Kavanaugh or Pete Hegseth can produce a piece of evidence from their teen aged years to refute an accusation.  If I had saved my day planner from that era my mother would have undoubtedly tossed it at some point.

One of the reasons I started this thread was because I am incredibly jealous of some of the concert that some people have attended.  But then again, someone had to have seen The Police at CBGBs.  I admire the efforts some have made to remember the shows they attended.  My reliance on memory is faulty, but I know I smoked weed with George Clinton at the Apollo.  Whether or not Buddy Guy came into the men's room while soloing as I peed at the urinal is less clear.  But I do recall his roadie had the longest guitar cable I've ever seen.  It was somewhere on the northside of Chicago.

It really pisses me off that I can't get paper stubs to most concerts these days. I love to look at them now & then, mainly to recall where that concert was. We rarely bet big names in our small town but I swore one night, with company visiting from out of town, that we saw Jackson Browne here.  Nobody believed me, a trip  to the stubs drawer and I proved I have not yet lost my mind.

Hello @larsman ​​​​@onhwy61 !  So this 1975 Pink Floyd Concert kept rattling around in my head.  I keep remembering the plane crashing at the end of Dark Side of the Moon behind the stage.  It came from all the way across the arena up high!  Check out this set list:

@fastfreight - awesome! Thanks for the correction; I didn't think they were still doing all of 'Dark Side', but they did have 2 sets....  I did see them at Merriweather Post on the 'Dark Side' tour...
