Same here .. when a teen I had a friend who was a promoter for Sunshine Promotions and another who was a local disc jockey. I played in a band with the DJ. So my buds and I all had backstage passes to almost every show throughout the early/mid 80s into the early 90s. Most were shit acts but I did get to hear SRV (sober) in an acoustically sound auditorium and BB King play a show in an old movie theatre. I actually met BB .. I'm not really a fan of his, he only plays five notes.. lolThe only concerts we got within driving distance (Evansville) were those bands.
