Back then, I was young and into Kiss, but from that concert I learned how good Seger was, and remained a fan of the Silver Bullet Band well after I had moved on from Kiss.<br /><br />And yeah -- it was probably like $10 for 'festival seating,' where you raced in with the mob when the doors opened so you could get close to the stage and stand in a crush of people, lol. This was well before that Who concert in Cinci that led to the deaths of several kids and pretty much ended festival seating.StratPlayerCJFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07341440379767694905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199047805421218885.post-57378401281832544912012-06-07T10:01:28.580-04:002012-06-07T10:01:28.580-04:00I was scrolling down looking at your posts and the...I was scrolling down looking at your posts and the mention of the Kiss / Seger concert jumped out at me. I saw this tour as well--early to mid 1975 I believe. I saw them in Knoxville, TN. The arena was strung with lights and they had the big columns of flame shooting up. I was more there for Seger cause I was a big fan, but Kiss put on an amazing show even though I've never been a big fan of their music. Ah, the good old days. The concert tickets were probably less than $10.<br /><br />Lee <br />An A to Z Co-Host <br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a>Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199047805421218885.post-18954694292723824382012-05-31T08:24:42.792-04:002012-05-31T08:24:42.792-04:00@LTM: Thanks so much, Leigh!

But at least she got to see me eventually graduate with my BSEE after I went back to school in my later 20's.<br /><br />@Jes: Jeez, I'm sorry to hear about the virus! I hope you're feeling much, much better! LOL! It is funny how many things we have in common -- maybe we're siblings from different parents? ;^) And yeah, I still play, but nowhere as much as I did back then. Now it's just a part-time recreational thing.<br /><br />@Tonja: Well, thanks again! I'll pop over and check it out!<br /><br />@DL: LOL! True -- I can border on the long-winded.

Still kind of can't... pardon my rambling. Anywho, I loved reading the 10 things about you! (And I also turned down a scholarship years ago! WHAT was I thinking??? Oh yeah, that it was all monopoly money and it didn't really matter. Oh, to be 18 again...) :) I'm also with you on the complete and total blindness sans contacts... AND the 4/1 anniversary! (Well, dating anniversary. Now that I'm married I guess it's different.) But still - how funny that we have so many random things in common.<br /><br />Do you still play the guitar?.jessica.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02724052361769518376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199047805421218885.post-43059201859932892222012-05-26T21:21:04.125-04:002012-05-26T21:21:04.125-04:00Thanks for the award. :)
