if you don't keep the 'evidence' of the cool stuff you did in your life, be it ticket stubs or photos or cards/letters ... you'd be bound to 'forget' ...

For most of my concert-going career, 'photos' were definitely not an option, at least not inside. It's a trip how much things have changed, there used to be a friggin' N*zi-like atmosphere when it came to recording and pics, now it's just like 'whatever, everyone has a phone, can't stop it' mentality.

In retrospect I wish I had a lot more photos of me and friends partying OUTSIDE all these dozens of shows, that's for sure. Looking back on my catalog, I have an AWFULLY precious few of photos of me and my friends, pre-show. I so wish I had more ... but it was all about gettin' our buzz on and cranking tunes in the parking lot and, in too many cases, walking around the lot either looking for partyables or extra tix to get that one or two extra bozo into the show with us ... you know, the one(s) who never got his/hers ahead of time but came down anyways hoping to get in somehow ... lol ... plus all too many times, we were runnin' late ...
