Ticketmaster and Live Nation have destroyed the concert experience. But it didn’t use to be this way. Today, Oasis and Taylor Swift tickets might go for thousands of dollars, but back in 1955, you could see Elvis Presley in concert for less than the modern-day equivalent of $20.
Yeah, I was 19 and I was sketched out by how an adult was talking to kids, but maybe he didn’t realize the crowd makeup yet.
