Things have changed a whole lot over the past few decades. Absolutely everything, from trends to technology to fashion to music, changes as the years pass. The atmosphere was different in the '70s, '80s, and '90s than it is now, even though these decades were not all that long ago, relatively. It's interesting to see what has changed and how. One thing people have always enjoyed is seeing live music.

People love going to concerts; they always have and hopefully always will. Attending a concert is a fun night out. 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 dressed look different, but the way folks got around, the mechanics on stage, and the music itself have changed, 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, and here are 25 images from concert culture back in the '70s and '80s to prove it.
