Wow! Those are some great shows. My first shows were the Grateful Dead and the Stones in 1981, so I missed out on the really classic stuff. The musical era of the 60's and 70's will go down as one of the greatest periods of creativity ever, right up there with the great engineering that went on in the ancient world (the giza pyramids, the parthenon etc.), the impressionist era in painting, Beethoven and Mozart etc. To see some of those great artists at work in a concert hall is an experience that is not going to come around again for a long time. Be grateful you got a chance to be a part of it. Rock and roll artifacts from that era are becoming very collectable. I own a bunch of great Beatles items - autographs, rare vinyl records etc. If you get a chance check out the auction that just went online at "it's only rocknroll.com". They have an autographed copy of the Beatles first American record for sale (Meet the Beatles). It was autographed for George Harrison's sister on the way to the Beatles first "official" concert in the U.S. which was in Wash. D.C. (the Ed Sullivan Show was a t.v appearance). It is one of only 9 autographed American Beatles records to ever surface. I grew up in D.C. I wasn't born yet but my Dad had a chance to go to the concert and backed out at the last minute. He has been regretting it ever since (although he did get a chance to see Elvis in 1957!)
