Before the days when you have your ticket as a QR code or bar code on your phone - even animated for particular gigs.
I'm going to share some of my old ticket stubs which I took some pictures of.
This concert was one of many that I saw Roy Harper perform - sometimes alone and sometimes with his son Nick. I saw him all over the country from the east coast to the west.
Roy is remembered of course on two classic albums.
First there's Led Zeppelin's 'Hats off to Roy (Harper) from Led Zeppelin III. He also sang backing vocals on 'Have a Cigar' by Pink Floyd.
And also on David Gilmour's self-titled first solo album from 1978, he recorded a version of Roy's song 'Short and Sweet'. Roy recently did a farewell tour, and still sounds good. There are some classic tracks that he has recorded over the years. One of them is 'Commune', which always reminds me of a friend Caroline.
And of course he has to finish with 'Same old Rock' - which featured Jimmy Page on guitar.
