I saw a lot of great shows there in the 70's....

You're a lucky guy.

Haven't seen this one before. Thank you.

ANYBODY who gets anything nice for a mere buck is very lucky indeed!
I'd offer Mikey a prize worth one dollar, but I don't suppose he wants a can of Coke or a pack of gum. The good old days...

How much is that buck in "today's" money? I vaguely remember seeing Duane and the Brothers back in the day for something like $3.50...Any economists in the house?

You'd be very lucky to get any kind of concert ticket for much less than $50 today.

In the early seventies, the standard concert price in Tampa was $4.00. I still remember my outrage when, in '74 I think it was, a concert ticket was $6.50. My thoughts on modern day concert ticket prices are unprintable.

Yea when I saw the ABB back in 08 up here I got me n my pop tix for $54 each. I thought I had it all back then! ...Im so poor now...

But I got my health, family, friends, and freaky Duaniacs who share in the love of Duane and his music!

Wail on, Brothers n Sisters!

(I gotta get back into workin on my chops... been a while since I was wailing on the guitar most nights... been riding the bike a lot.. 3500 miles so far this season!)

I'm out seeing bands two or three nights each week, and I still see plenty of great shows for $35 and under.....and that's in NYC. Of course a drink is $11, but what do you expect.

Ben!!!! You are *that* Ben, right? The one that did "Abscessed Toothache Blues?" Long time no see!

Definitely, the Real McCoy.
Yea that seems like FOREVER ago. How ya been Sheila? ;)

But yea I really need to pick a guitar up again, JEEZ its been too long! I'll be a 1/4 of a century old soon with nothing to show for it! Duane had a KILLER band and was one of the greatest guitarists to ever live by the time he was my age! =P

Oh yea and I remember promising a rendition of Please Be With Me... I've been asking my uncle to borrow his dobro again... B)

Ben, I never realized you were actually younger than me! Kinda bittersweet to find out I'm not the baby of the Cracker World anymore.

I paid 7.50 ..I think , to see Zep in Tampa in 71.

White Witch played the Colonial Drive in (orlando) for a buck in 73.
Lynyrd Skynyrd tix were free ...at Tampa Fairgrounds if you happen to be in the right place.

Now the old Tampa Fairgrounds, that was a place to see a concert. It was the infield of an old dirt auto racetrack -- perfect for low budget mini-festivals. I'll never forget the show Leon Russell & Co. put on there one hot summer afternoon around '72 or so. Tampa's hippie swan song, if you will.
