Only concert I have been to was a classical music concert in the 1980s with my father. I doubt there was more than a hundred people in the theater.

Ozzy Osbourne when Randy Rhoades was still alive in a tiny 8,000 seat venue. It was the beginning of summer between 9th and 10th grade. Ticket cost 8 bucks. I was deaf for a week. Good times.
