In 1973 gas to get to a concert spiked to an all time high of $0.40 a gal. now it's $4.00 a gal. In 73 a two or three day concert (with headliners) cost around $10. Today if you want to go see Bruce Springsteen the cheepest ticket is $130, and if you want to be on the floor it will cost you $920.
In the 70's I was lucky enough to work for Bill Graham Productions, so almost all the concerts back then were free to me, including back stage passes. All it took was a phone call and my name (plus guest) would be put on the list. I do miss those days, and it does seem like a lifetime ago.
