Concerts by the Year

[Mythos]

I was looking at my old concert ticket stubs book and 1975 was a very busy year for me, as I saw:

Ten Years After, Slade, Wishbone Ash, Camel, Kiss, Yes, Lynard Skynyrd, Peter Frampton, REO Speedwagon, Mahogany Rush (twice), Status Quo, , Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, Kansas, Ted Nugent..

Anyone care to share a year of concerts?

1976 and 1977 were pretty great too, but I'll wait to see others responses...

It never got any busier than this for me.

Allman Brothers Band/Dave Mason/Little Feat

Jefferson Starship/Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen
Jethro Tull/Carmen

Forgot one:
3rd Annual Banjo, Fiddle & Guitar Festival w/Doc Watson/Byron Berline/Emmylou Harris & the Hot Band with guest Linda Ronstadt.

Cool idea. I did not start attending concert until around 78, but I will have to look through my stub books for a good year.
