Hats on or off at a show?

Optional kindness: some tall people skip dead center of the front row. Generous of them. Nobody is owed it.

Hats are not in that category, because a hat comes off.

In 1993, you could trade a gun for Pearl Jam, Dr. Dre or Janet Jackson tickets.

This was an actual thing.

For a short stretch in 1993 and 1994, guns-for-tickets programs popped up around the country.

Pearl Jam was one of the two most-requested tickets in Albuquerque. By June 1994, Pearl Jam's antitrust complaint had triggered a Justice Department investigation into Ticketmaster.

Two kinds of concert people. The ones who catch the tour when it comes through, and the ones who fly to the hometown show because the band plays different for people who knew them first.

Both are valid. One gets better stories.

@tlopresh @bedroque00 First one ever! Who're you dragging along with you?

[Concerts Remembered @ConcertsRem]

@johnnyveritas Handing down the Black Crowes as a first show. That's a good dad move.

@CrashGear_4 Going alone means you didn't miss a second of it.

[Concerts Remembered @ConcertsRem]

@Jodie_Font Nice anniversary! Always fun to relive those concert memories. And can't believe you got that close 🤯 on your first show!

@curtm81x Keep the pipeline filled! Solid run this year, just had the bug? Or all your favorite bands on tour?

@Whitefo32693976 How many times did the outfit lineup change?

Where did yours end up?

[Concerts Remembered @ConcertsRem]

A digital ticket does one job. It gets you in. Then your phone deletes it.

The stub did that job and then stayed. In a drawer, a shoebox, taped inside a yearbook. Still sitting there right now.

We upgraded and lost the half that lasted.
