25 Photos Of Concert Culture In The 1970s


Times have changed a lot over the decades. With every year and every decade that goes by, things evolve and alter in all kinds of ways. Absolutely everything, from trends to technology to fashion to music changes as the years pass. The vibes are different now, as well. While the 1970s were not all that long ago, relatively, the world looked a lot different back then. One thing that has not changed much over the years, though, is concert culture.
People love going to concerts, they always have done and hopefully always will. While people still enjoy going to concerts, indoors and outdoors, festivals and tours, the appearance of these performances has changed. Not only did the way people dress look different, but the way folks got around, hung out, and the shows in general looked different, too.
Every concert-goer in the modern era has some jealousy for the people who got to see classic concerts of the past. This is for good reason, too. Concerts looked pretty amazing back then. So, here are 25 images of shows and show scenes from the 1970s to reminisce on.
