That's just nuts. I believe you, but that's crazy money to pay for a couple hours of entertainment. I wouldn’t do it

I'm exaggerating, but Eagles tickets in the lower bowl were outrageous. 2 tickets plus fees were almost $900.
Make concerts affordable again.

70's were the golden age of rock music

The Stones, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac and Eric Clapton were all making great music before 1970.
But, to add to your list:
Bruce Springsteen
ELP
XTC
Steely Dan
Wishbone Ash
Foghat
Bob Seger And The Silver Bullet Band
Mott The Hoople
Dire Straits

The Beatles laid the groundwork for the musical explosion that occurred in the 1970s. Almost every great musician from the 70s would tell you that.

Yep, to me music mostly died when the trend went to Disco around 1976. The late 1960's were probably the most creative time for music and the early 70's the best. To me the Golden Age = 1966 to 1976.

The first singing voice I remember hearing in my life was Paul McCartney’s. I grew up living for the next Beatle album. Regardless, the 70s were greater than the 60s. For that, I largely credit the Beatles.

This. Except for maybe Jazz.

This is true, but much of their most quintessential music was released in the 1970s.

Disco is not enough to ignore the arena rock of the late 70s. e.g. Van Halen. Every decade has drivel, e.g. The Grass Roots.

100% agree with this. I might include 1965 though because I’m a big fan of the Byrds, Simon and Garfunkel, and The Mamas and The Papas

Don’t forget the GOAT, Pink Floyd.
They were at their absolute best the entire decade of the 70’s

Everyone toured, even small towns and tickets were cheap.
Music and cars were the culture. Simple times.

Yes it was which is why I pretty much only listen to Classic Rewind and Classic Vinyl on Sirius/XM. I was a teenager in the 70s and loved bands such as The Eagles, Boston, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Steely Dan, Aerosmith, etc. It was the golden age of rock music for sure!
