To Be or Not To Be...

 

Remember when tickets to a show were under $20!  Just found some squirreled away items that may bring back some metal memories.  And, if you lived on  the East Coast, Hammerjacks was THE venue to experience live music.  I saw GNR there, Skid Row, Hanoi Rocks...Although I don't have many hard copies (or electronic version...I was a pre-Internet journalist, believe it or not!) of the publications I worked for since I lost most in one of my westward ho moves, here are some thumbnails of the schedules.

 

I also added some bits and pieces that bring back metal memories...Wished I could find more!

Amazing show at the Hammersmith Odeon.        

TICKET STUBS

Look at the prices!  I recently found these in an envelope and they are a fraction of the shows I experienced in the 80s and 90s.  As a journalist I saw approximately 1,500 shows...And I still have my hearing (however, the jury is still out on my sanity!).
