Here...closest thing I can come up with on short notice!
Almost ELO...an ELP concert from around the same time.
And this show was also at Exhibition Stadium in Toronto, go figure.

Sorry, my original photos are colour Slides, but I have printed the occasional photo (as you see)

And he states there was some kind of incident with a “Trickster”. It is possible the saucer gave him a ride (A Journey), and dropped him off in the deserts of Arizona, where he remains to this day.

Date: Saturday, August 26, 1978
Venue: Anaheim Stadium
Location: Anaheim, California, United States
Notes:
ELO's spaceship staging was a one of a kind never before seen and the band was introduced by actor Tony Curtis
who was lifted in a riser and got into a battle with Storm Troopers and he announced to the crowd to look at the
sky for a Helicopter hauling a round spaceship like saucer.

Bands Journey and Kingfish were also on the same bill.

I noticed the prices on the ticket Airdave shows us.

$12.50 in advance.
$15.00 day of the show.

Can't get into shows for those prices anymore.



Thanks Web. Nice to see more photos of your project.

lol I remember paying $7 and $11 to see KISS on two separate occasions.

I think I saw Bowie (first time) for about the same price.

Is my age showing yet?

U2 is a band I have no interest in seeing (or hearing for that matter).

And they are a band that can't even bother to tour any more
...why go to your fans? when you can get a room in Vegas and stay there.
Force the fans to come to you!
And charge them as much as you can for tickets.

Tickets for U2’s performances at the MSG Sphere are available in a range of prices.
The cheapest tickets can be found at a starting price of $140.00 (plus fees and tax) for the P4 section, which is the highest balcony section.
General Admission (GA) Floor standing tickets are priced at $267.88, while premium tickets in the “Red Zone” cost $600.

$267.88 and you don't even get a seat.
A seat costs you $600.
Can you imagine what scalper prices will be?!
lmao no thanks

i decided to complete the model with landing gear - hear are the final pictures.

my wife and me had 10 hours of assembling fun and enjoyed some great vinyl recordings during the modelling sessions!
