What a deal: This one-column ad, magnified here to enhance readability, appeared in the Minneapolis Star. Imagine paying a buck to witness future legends in their prime at Dayton’s eighth-floor auditorium in Minneapolis.

Are you among the now-graying music fans who braved clouds of perfume and aisle after aisle of hats, dress shirts and shoes to see the Yardbirds or Simon and Garfunkel in July 1966?
