Foghat and Head East always swung through central NY. I never liked either of them but they opened for a lot of main acts.

I only saw Head East twice, but Foghat was through here all the time especially after they dropped back to being a club act in the 90's / 00's. I always loved them so saw them a lot.Originally Posted by Jimmy Giant
Where I grew up, the opener was often REO Speedwagon (before they became a successful pop act). Best one-two punch I ever had was Rush (touring for 2112) opening for BOC (touring for Agents of Fortune).

I saw Rush's 2112 in Ottawa. The crowd was only about 3,000. What was the size at your show?

About that - just a small hockey arena in small city in North Dakota. Tickets were probably $5-7.

I don't know what's happened with ticket prices - even with inflation, I don' think $5-7 equals $200-$400.

I think one culprit is that basic disappearance of profit from record/cd sales to artists. Because of that, the next best opportunity to monetize music comes from live shows.
Full ticket from my first show.

Contrary to the info, it was an indoor show.
