The โTattoo Youโ tour, in the old Astrodome in Houston.
Was telling a friend with me that it was a shame that we were indoors, as The Stones did an incredible fireworks finale on their outdoor stadium shows.
The Stones had the fireworks set off, anyway. Rockets zooming up, then bouncing off the roof of the Astrodome. Total bedlam as people on the field in General Admission were scrambling to get out of the way.
Somewhere, a fire marshall was having a heart attack.
They played the Astrodome the next night as well, but I bet they didnโt get to shoot anything off.
And the back of the ticket
I have several Nelsonica tickets. This one is particularly cool ๐
A few more
Just found a few
the top one is a bit faded but itโs the Wu Tang Clan at the Maritime Hall in San Francisco
Found another small stash of tickets in an old photo album:
Lyle Lovett last night. All acoustic show.
Hadnโt seen Lyle since 1999, so long overdue.
Outstanding show.
.
I was into Robert Palmer big time in the early eighties and beyond. " dreams to remember".
On this date, in 2004.
.
On this date in 1976, saw Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen play a Halloween show at The University Of Florida.
No ticket stub, as it was a free concert.
.
I bought Danger Money because I was intrigued by the cover.
๐
Saw Weather Report in 1976, 1979 and 1980.
Lucky.
.
The first U.K. tour.
This one had The Electromagnets opening. Eric Johnsonโs first group.
It was The Electromagnets last show.
.
If you can believe it, U.K. was the opening act for Tull.
.
Honestly, I have no memory of this show.
.
โDarkness On The Edge Of Townโ tour. Easily a 3.5 hour show.
Included โSanta Claus Is Coming To Townโ just in time for the holidays.
This is the show that was filmed & included in the re-release boxed-set of โDarknessโ.
