Rock Circus

[polarisrider1]

Anyone remember this? Tonight it is 1968 with Jethro Tull, the Who, Yoko Ono, Rolling Stones , Taj Mahal and more. It is on WGVU. (Station is PBS and across the street from my house). To be young again!

Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus. They look so young.

I'm surprised more members didn't reply to this ? Back in the day, we went to concerts constantly. 1st concert was BoB's Cigar ( Seger ), with a band called Starz ( 75-76 ??? ), Then Rush & ??? Heart, If I remember correctly, concert tickets were $5.50, albums were about $4.99 or $5.99, I used to get a $5 a week allowance ( for work rendured of course ) and bought an album every week. Can't remember what 8 tracks were... but I joined a few record clubs .... Money meant a totally different thing back then. I used to collect concert T shirts... PR1 has me beat by going back to 1968....

I wasnt around back then but my first concert was in 1982 when I was 6 years old my oldest brother brought me to see The Who. Some reason I still remember that concert.

Been to a few Who concerts and no place for a 6 year old. Bet your parents were pleased if they knew.

All the bands are too old and I'm too young! Got to see rush fifth row for eight grade graduation then saw pearl jam at alpine two summers ago and just went to see the who at Allstate back in November. Music sounded good, but that could possibly be from all the people making clouds??? Even indoors lol I'm just kidding I love the old music and it sounds even better live in person.
