Post a coin from the Eighties, any century. :)

I worked for these gents back in the early 80's in Lynn, Massachusetts at the Manning Bowl.

    We have much in common. I used to listen to Aerosmith on the radio while driving through Lynn MASS back in the 80s.
    I don't own a coin from the 80s yet found this advertisement that precisely bespeaks of the 80s greed decade.

    Far out, man. Groovy. (OOPS wrong decade).

    No matter. Foghat will tell you that "through the haze", close is enough. ;)

    I met HEART at a hotel near CAL JAM back in the 80's. The marque at the hotel read "Police chiefs convention" out front. It was a ruse, as all the rock stars. Mahogany Rush was just awesome! I was only wearing a Led Zeppelin T-shirt and lost my ride back home. I slept in a Donald Duck sleeping bag that I found in the parking lot till dawn.

    An old photo, and I need to re-photograph it, but it's still a good coin.

    The '80's huh? Well, if you're going to go to a concert, sometimes you gotta' go on a road trip with friends to get to the concert you want to see, for example the Grateful Dead playing Red Rocks, CO. Yours truly is on the right...

    Don't get me going on Dead Heads....... :p

    I've never been there. My favorite concert in MA. was in 1973-4 watching Bob Marley in a small theater in Boston before he became famous. A friend of mine told me I had to check this new guy out. The theater AT MOST held 500 people. Marley and his band were AWESOME!!!

    Saw them once or twice back in the day. Not sure what they are calling them this week, but I just got questioned a couple weeks ago talking about Great Woods and The Centrum at work. Feeling like a geezer and I'm not even 50 yet.

    Does anyone today think the singers and bands from the 60's through the 80"s whose members are white males with long and big hair were actually good looking?

    The girls always seemed to like Peter Frampton.

    Curiously Aerosmith is one group I always wanted to see but never did.

    Only matters what the women thought.

    One of the best small venues to see a show in the very early 80’s was the Capital Theatre in Passaic NJ. Saw a lot of good shows there—and the tickets were cheap.
