While digging around out in the garage earlier this evening I found my old stash of concert tickets. In a move that I hope I don’t soon regret, I spent about an hour tonight digitally scanning them into the computer and then throwing the physical copies away. I like looking at them from time to time because they remind me of the concerts I’ve attended, but I don’t need the physical pieces of paper to do that. So, one by one tonight, they went into the computer and then into the trash. Here are a few that stood out to me:<\/p>\n

Oldest Ticket Award:<\/b> Cinderella, Bullet Boys and Winger (March, 1989). I went to this concert with my friend Heather and (I think) her sister. I was 15 years old.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I Beat the Rush Award:<\/b> Two-way tie on this one. The first goes to Pantera\/Wrathchild America (May, 1991). Cowboys From Hell, their first major label album, was released in 1990; Vulgar Display of Power came out in 1992. This was pretty early in their career, as evidenced by the $13 price.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The other one is Faith No More\/Circus of Power (June, 1990). To give you an idea of how small of a club show this was, you can see the ticket number printed on the side (#374). Kinetix held around 500 people.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Best Deal Award:<\/b> Danzig\/White Zombie (November, 1992). $12 for Danzig and White Zombie. White Zombie opened and was just gaining in popularity (this would have been the same year they released their debut major label album). Danzig was touring in support of his third album, How the Gods Kill. Great concert.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Newest Ticket Award:<\/b> Melvins (August, 2009). Another awesome show. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I seem to be missing a lot of tickets — right off the top of my head I see Ozzy, Sepultura, Type-O-Negative, Nine Inch Nails, Korn and Slipknot are all missing, but all the tickets I do (or did) have are now online.<\/p>\n
