They say that if you remember the 70's, then you weren't there.
In my case I was just a grade & middle school kid, so I remember...playing jacks and shoeing horses. What? Ok, perhaps that was another life and a different '70s...Ok, I have it now...I remember...music. Yes. I have always liked music. My first concert was Kiss, in 1978, at the height of their popularity. What a show. It was loud and bright and amazing for a wide-eyed 13 year old. I'll remember it forever.
Many years and many concerts later, most bleed together in my memory. Oh, there were good ones, but very few really captured the same magic.
This ticket was from one that did, an amazing and exciting blast from the past. Cell phones have replaced lighters as the illumination of choice, and everyone looks older and tired. But they sounded great and everything just came together that day...
...And it was my birthday.

...and for good reason. You can get a really nasty burn on your thumb from a hot lighter that not even a gin and tonic can soothe. :)
