Also a first concert experience. Also had parental help with transportation. for myself and friends. About 30 seconds after leaving the house I realized I had left the tickets in my bedroom. I still have daymares 36 years later about what it would have been like if we’d reached the arena, over an hour away, without those tickets (which cost all of $11 as I recall…those were the days…your stub above shows $8.57 plus tax but I’d bet there was a Ticketron service charge.)
The Who were our favorite band at that time and consistently drove me wild. The concert was, of course, thunderous, though listening to recordings from the era nowadays proves that Kenny Jones wasn’t the best choice for their new drummer, fine musician though he is. During the encore, with Pete T. riffing and singing they played a very early, sketchy version of the song “How Can You Do It Alone”, which would appear on the Face Dances record a year or two later.
Good start for a career of concert mania.
