Here are some of mine..

Including Iron Maiden with Twisted sister as opening act during powerslave tour in 1984.. $16.50 including taxes and fees...

One of my first concerts was the "Bee Gees" in 1979 at the Montreal Forum. As a kid I was amazed. And about a month later, Abba at the Forum. And after the intermission they came out on stage with Habs jerseys and the crowd went nuts (since the habs had one the Stanley cup that year).

The one concert I vaguely remember (but I know I was there) was Ted Nugent at the montreal forum (I think it was in 1981). There was so much smoke, that I could barely see the stage, and I think as a young child, it was my first time feeling stoned from 3rd party smoke :) hehehe....

May my Dad RIP. He would come home from work with a pair of tickets and ask me if I had any homework to do. Obviously I would be able to guess why he was asking and I "never" had any homework ;) He loved his Greek music, but also loved his Hard Rock and heavy metal, so we went to piles and piles of concerts together.

I think we went to see Rod Stewart at least 3 or 4 times (during the days when soccer balls were being kicked throughout the show), Rush another 3 or 4 times.. Even on Vacation, went to see Belinda Carlisle and the Gogos at the Bally Grand outdoor stage for $10USD in Atlantic City.

Hell, even hocky tickets were relatively affordable back then.
1989 Playoffs - in the executive club box section with free food and beer, for $29 face value. My Dad used to occasionally get these from his boss who had season tickets back then.
