ReplyDeleteSorry, date the ticket is not on March 17, by chance?
ty much. ronnie
Deleteyes my bad, you are correct. I was a senior in high school and it was before we got out of school so for sure it was march 17th friday night. I just checked out a 1978 calendar. ty much. ronnie
ReplyDeleteAre you sure Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow played in August 1978 in Dallas with Kansas & Thin Lizzy on the bill ? You surely has seen Rainbow in July 1978 with R.E.O. Speedwagon (Rainbow were support act). Thanks for you nice website ! I'll hope this helps !
ReplyDeletemy best memory still thinks it was thin lizzy/rainbow and kansas. but that was a long time ago and im pretty sure there was lots of canabis involved. ha.
DeleteHi Do you want to sell any of those wrestling tickets?
