First show I ever saw was AC/DC's Back in Black tour at the Budokan in Tokyo in '80. In the intervening years between 1980 into my early 40s I attended shows into the triple digits in several countries. Here's a pic of an envelope I just pulled out of a drawer in my desk. There are other envelopes full of stubs but this is the one I am fondest of. Oldest ticket is the AC/DC one (black in color). I had that thing in my pocket 44 years ago in Tokyo, being blown away by the band and the sound. In attendance with me on that night in addition to my brother Cap'n Chaos was my then little GF, and now wife for 20+ years. I was ten at the time of that first one and a budding metalhead.  My tastes changed over the years, as most folks' do, and my headbanging days are decades old memories. A lot of water under the bridge and a long way we've come since then, but our world of memories includes those associated with this old bits of paper. There are many, many more, but I'm not bothering with dragging them out and taking pics. Guess you'll have to take my word for it. Haven't been to a show in years and there are precious few I'd spend money on seeing today, but there are a few. Thanks for the memory trigger, Hanco. Would like to hear from others. AC/DC x4 Aerosmith x6 Pink Floyd x4 Rolling Stones x4 Iron Maiden x2 Scorpions x2 Judas Priest Rainbow The Cars Whitesnake Deep Purple Blue Oyster Cult Styx REO Speedwagon Grateful Dead Molly Hatchet Yes U2 B-52s Steve Miller Roy Orbison Tom Petty Adam and the Ants (ha, ha) Roger Waters x3 David Gilmour Jimmy Page The Pretenders ZZ Top Loudness Page and Plant Bad Company Boston Stevie Ray Vaughn Jethro Tull x2 Dio Twisted Sister Anthrax Black Sabbath x2 Ozzy x2 David Bowie Lenny Kravitz (backstage) Heart Foo Fighters Keith Richards Max Creek The Cranberries Garbage Pantera In Living Color De La Soul Dead Kennedys Pearl Jam TOOL Soundgarden STP Lollapalooza and a bunch of other big festivals ICE T Public Enemy x2 ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/IQrZcLB.jpeg) Lucky man!!

It was a memorable New Year's Eve concert. I wore boots and a ski vest and snuck in about 8 bottles of Michelob beer: ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/2bnkKvM.jpeg)

I'd have liked to seen John Prine. He was great even though his voice was pretty rough by then. I also got to see him a few years earlier with Iris DeMent in Boise.
