The 70's & 80's

Music and live concerts

The crowd has gathered with anticipation

The tickets are punched to join the celebration

$15.00 a piece; anything higher is extreme

People anxiously wait for the curtains to seam

People of all races now fill the center

As late arrivals hurry to enter

The lights go dim; the spotlight shines

The announcer comes out and makes a few rhymes

He holds his arms high to announce the guests

The stage lights up revealing smoke and glittered vests

Eight or more people are now on the stage

Performing dance steps; harmonizing; instruments being played

Not one song; not five; not ten

All of their hits rose in the wind

Looking at the time as they start another set

"I gotta work tomorrow.  How much sleep will I get?"

Not one band, but another, and another

High fiving people next to you like you knew each other

The final song plays and they give us a bow

We laugh and cheer as they wipe their brow

A performance of a lifetime; an unforgettable event

I can truly say, "That was money well spent"

Time to leave; go pick up the babies

I truly miss the concerts of the 70s & 80s.
