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 Larry Coryell concert like this could actually change your life.

About this show: 8/27/77 LARRY CORYELL (4/2/43-2/19/17) twinned the octave brilliance of Wes Montgomery with the speed ferocity of Paco de Lucia in one. Watching Coryell play was a challenge for me as a guitarist inasmuch that my eyes could not keep up with my ears. I always felt his playing had a monsoon like quality whether on acoustic or electric guitar. At this show, he reunited with drummer Alphonse Mouzon and together, they left my head spinning for the walk back to my apartment.

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.
