Description

The forecast called for rain, and those in attendance at the outdoor venue were none too pleased about it. This was Pink Floyd, albeit without Roger Waters, under the California stars, and the audience was holding their collective breath that the skies wouldn't open. Lo and behold, the heavens unleashed a light steady drizzle throughout the show, delivering a hazy, trippy effect, mixing and swirling with yet another stellar light show. The result was a hypnotic visual dream, and members of the audience still get the chills when recalling that night.

By the 1980s, multiple-night concerts at smaller, single venues were giving way to giant arena shows, and event tickets began to reflect the change from up-close-and-personal to binoculars-advised. Concert tickets from the beginning of this period still sported background colors, band icons or small, familiar symbols on their faces and were computer generated, standard in size and included the all-important seat and row number data. By the end of the decade, much of the special imagery had disappeared. Although these tickets may be less flashy, they are mementos of some of the greatest shows in rock, punk rock and heavy metal history.
