I'm 67 so was at concerts in the '60's and '70's a lot.Saw The Who smash up their equipment,Hendrix pour lighter fluid on his guitar and light her up!Even saw Meatloaf fall off of the stage around 30 or so years ago and break his leg!Paramedics came in the arena and took him away on a stretcher!Saw The Eagles in 1978.What's that old expression...."I might be old but I've seen all the good bands!" LOL!!!

I have gone to see the Eagles years in a row before Glen Frey died. I will be going to see the Eagles July 28, 2018 @ Citizens Bank Park in Phila. Glen Frey's son and Vince Gill will be filling in.
Awesome van! Do you still have it? Did you customize it?

I sold the van long ago. I bought the 79 Chevy new and took it straight to a shop and had the int customized and then straight to my friend who was an art teacher at Southern Huntington High School. I gave him free reins on what to paint on the van. He would take his art students to his home and help with the murals.

First concert was Boston at the St Paul Civic Center. March 7, 1977 I was 15.
I still think this may have been the best concert I ever saw
