When I was five, my dad said that we should see a "heavy rock band like ZZ Top". We never did. When my dad was 54, though, I bought him tickets to see the band at Hammersmith Apollo - just to prove I'd not forgotten his comment 17 years previously! We were sat in the front row of the balcony which, while we separated from the main crowd, provided an excellent view. And the band rocked. It was like a "greatest hits" gig, and they played every song I ever knew they had recorded.Scanned ticket stubs from gigs, concerts and sports events I've been to. The tickets cover an enormous range of experiences; some are now seen as 'legendary' events, others have disappeared without a trace. Whether they were memorable or not, my ticket is here.
