Sure my music friends of a certain age would agree wholeheartedly…I feel sorry for the youth that do not have this experience or the memories…

Same. Kinda miss those days. Sitting in a queue on Ticketmaster doesn't make lifelong pals, like you did queueing overnight waiting for the box office to open at the Playhouse lol
