I’ve been to a lot of concerts, and I saved most of my ticket stubs. If you’re thinking that I missed out on some serious deals at Hardee’s and Wendy’s by hanging on to these things, you’d be right. For this stub alone I could’ve had a Hamburger , Reg. Fries and a Coke for only $1.99 (after 8 pm) at Wendy’s. Who knew?
Anyway, this is the first stub I still have. As you can see, it is in pretty bad shape…but not too bad considering it is 24 years later!
This stub is from Bryan’s September 12, 1985 show at the good ol’ Capital Centre in Largo, Maryland on his Reckless tour. Reckless was tremendously successful — hitting number one and spawning 6 top 20 hits: Run to You, Somebody, Heaven, Summer of ’69, One Night Love Affair, and It’s Only Love. It also earned him 2 Grammy nominations. Man, I STILL enjoy these songs! Well, except Heaven. My college band used to have a parody of that one called Cleveland (“I’m finding it hard to believe, we’re in Cleveland”).
