19. My list from the 70s/early 80s includes the Stones' Exile tour ($6.50), Springsteen's Darkness tour,

Bowie's Station To Station tour (my favorite album of his), Ramones' Rocket To Russia tour - it was their last w the original line-up, and the Runaways w Joan Jett fronting them opened... I think that was a $5.50 ticket. FACES! w/Rod Stewart, way back when he was good... their Ooh-La-La tour. Jethro Tull's Thick as A Brick tour, Fleetwood Mac's Rumours tour, Yes' Close To The Edge tour, Jerry friggin Lee Lewis(!), the Pretenders' 2nd album tour, just before half their original band died. Even Elvis... sort of by chance and when I was too young to understand or appreciate him... didn't really give a rip, because I hadn't heard his '54-'55 Sun Sessions records yet.

Regrets include not getting to Led Zep, Talking Heads, early U2. Not being able to get to Creedence before they were gone. Also was too young to have any shot at Janis, Doors, Hendrix, J. Airplane before they went Starship, Velvet Underground. And didn't even know about Joy Division til they were gone... and they never made it to America anyway.

Yep I'm one more boomer wondering how current popular music got into the state's it's in, and if anybody will ever again experience an era of music approaching what I got to. (My guess is "no." )
