“My brother bought a block of twenty five seats on the main floor, and needless to say, it was quite a party.”

Probably cost a total of $125 back then which would have been two weeks wages working after school at the grocery store.

We've been in the automotive business for over forty years. And back then tickets to Cobo Hall were probably about 7-10 dollars apiece. I remember my first concert at Cobo back in about 1972.The band was Grand Funk, and the tickets were $3.50,$4.50, and $5.50. I saw a lot of great shows and bands at Cobo when Detroit was truly the Rock and Roll capital of the world.
