I was there. This is my ticket.

I am not in the ticket memorabilia business. I am simply an individual whose life has been blessed by growing up during an extraordinary time when going to a Al Kooper concert like this could actually change your life.

About this show: 11/23/74 AL KOOPER is one of the great living treasures of American pop and rock music. This brilliant multi-instrumentalist took the Blues Project, Blood Sweat and Tears, Super Session with Michael Bloomfield, Like a Rolling Stone with Bob Dylan, and You Cant Always Get What You Want with The Rolling Stones and made his imprint forever on me and the great rock and roll songbook. An unforgettable night that showcased not only Al's musical genius, but also his great sense of humor. At 79 years old today, Kooper no longer performs, but while It's long overdue, I'm still thrilled he'll be receiving his induction to the rock 'n' roll Hall of Fame in November 2023.

And let's not forget the storied venue itself…

THE BOTTOM LINE (2/11/74-1/22/2004) opened during my first year attending NYU living only a few blocks away. The iconic venues history is well documented and to this day people are well aware of its place in music history. I guess you could say I became kind of a fixture hanging out in front, checkin out the marquee to see who'd be playing next and how much money I'd have to save by not eating dinner to get to see my favorites at the best intimate music venue in New York with the greatest sound system and site lines. Both audience and artist knew that this was the Mecca for live music across a wide variety of genres.

I no longer need these physical manifestations as my memories are so vivid and my gratitude so deep but I could sure use the money now that I am a solo senior citizen having recently moved back to NJ after 50 years away.
