Saw quite a few 70's/80's big name Rock bands & several legendary Country artists when I was in college. Also worked concert patrol several times @ the Lloyd Noble during same time/early 80s. Still remember working a Black Sabbath concert.. what a deal, not my crowd, and still not an Ozzy fan. Wasn't a Kiss fan in mid to late 70's (my preteen brother was) but they put on great show when at 18, 5 of us drove a hour & a half to see them. Several years earlier a group of us really wanted to see Lynyrd Skynyrd, but just a year later we all lost that chance
Skynyrd (what's left of the replacement members) along with ZZ Top played at the AMP last month, heard they put on a good show. Many shows over there @ Rogers Ark, as well as at our local array of Indian Casinos, have well known artists with reasonable priced seats nearly every weekend.
