What would $8.00 around about 1970 be today corrected for inflation? For that price I got to see Lara Nyro at the Fillmore East for what seemed at the time to be exorbitant New York City prices. I mentioned in a previous post Miles Davis was opening for her at that show so we probably got our moneys worth. Good seats too.
Don’t remember any Fillmore shows that cost any more than that. Don’t imagine any of us hippies back then could have even imagined coming up with a thousand dollars for any ticket. Perhaps if Jimi and Janis were to come back for one more show next week it might be worth springing for at that price.
