What a drag it is getting old.
At age 73, I’m happy to see I’m not the oldest. I’ve simplified my brewing to accommodate some limitations. May we all keep brewing for many more years.
I knew some of the older gang would get it ;D
Younger ones probably no clue.

I was a big concert goer for many years. My first concert was 1972 when Ted Nuggent was opening for Aerosmith touring their first album.
My band opened for Nugent in around 68ish.
What instrument did you play ? Band name ?
Bass at that point. I’m sure you never heard of the band. I think we called ourselves The Reason Why at that point…went through a lot of names. It was at KRNT Theater in Des Moines IA.
I only play Spotify & Bandcamp, but I really want to pick up one of those Kala U-Basses. They look like fun.
You can pick up a couple of spoons from your kitchen.
Oh I forgot. About 25 years ago I took my daughter to see her first concert
Ted Nugent was opening for Kiss. We had a floor seat close to the front.
My ears were ringing for weeks afterwards, at that moment I said to myself
I’m too old for this very loud music. She wasn’t phased by it at all, and shocked
by her reaction. I thought she was going to jump up on stage :o

I think I saw that same tour. Kiss, Skid Row and Ted “Uncle Ted” Nugent. Great show.
I’ve seen Kiss probably three times, always a good show. When you have gifted writers, musicians, and singers, no costumes, ,elaborate stage & sound effects, or lasers are needed. Although we have our own preferred music styles, and tastes, I would place the Beatles, Eagles, and Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet band to start that list.
Winter of 76-77 I saw Blue Oyster Cult and Bob Seger opened for them, and stole the show. It sounded better than the album, raw sound and talent. I had a third row seat, back when general admission was common. I’ve enjoyed listening to several Artists albums, but when I saw them in person it was a big let down due to the extreme studio editing to make them desirable. Some songs were almost unrecognizable in person, if not for the lyrics and beat.

Wouldn’t you have been 16 or 17 at the time? We’re the same age and I graduated high school in 1970.
Yep, that’s about right. We were a well known (well, regionally) band before we were out of high school.

odd question but those 70+ or even 50/60+, what do you think about the effect the internet (this means of communication right now) on society, people?
Don’t get me started. So much potential, so many idiots.
