Well, as you can see, I've got quite the collection. Share yours. And feel free to ask, I'll try to remember, especially with the drumsticks.

I have the stubs from 2 Bob Dylan concerts I attended and a Barenaked Ladies concert{ a word of explaination about the BNL concert:I only bought tickets to the concert to see the opening act Tomi Swyck,he's an unbelievably gifted singer and songwriter but tragically hardly known at all outside his native Hamilton,ON .I can't stand BNL especially their overplayed POS nonsense song If I had A Million Dollars}ticket stub,a ticket stub from a Diane Bish organ recital,a mint uncirculated,unmolested ticket to Woodstock the day Jimi played,a playbill from a concert that Jimi did in LA but I forget the venue. Even though this isn't concert related,it is very musically relavent,I have a photo of John and Yoko sitting in their PJs at the Montreal Bed-In For Peace autographed by Yoko saying: To Derek Love Yoko.That and my John Lennon guitars are my favourite possessions.Sadly I never kept my Rory Gallagher,Buchanan-Methany,Howlin' Wolf,Captain Beefheart,Flo and Eddy,Honeymoon Suite,Chilliwack stubs and lost my Steve Earle,SRV stubs when I left the pitbull with PMS that was my ex.

I just remembered that the top drumstick in the picture was given to my mother by Lars Ulrich in 1992. Apparently, he jumped over the stage at the end of the show because he had to take a piss apparently. Then, he clogged the bathroom. My mom said he was the funniest member of the group. The only reason I have it is because I found it in a box of my dad's old stuff. He probably took it when they got divorced. (The club my mom saw him at has a small floor, and a really low stage, but I seriously cherish that stick.)

Hi Nevin,Yoko sent me the autographed pic after I had written her thanking her for letting Epiphone make exact copies of 2 of John's favourite guitars as he was the biggest influence in my life and it was because of him and George that I became a musician and that I would be forever indebted to him for that.Anyway I went on and poured my heart out to her about much John meant to me.I mailed the letter never expecting a reply but a few weeks later I received a letter thanking me for my kind words about John and for being a lifelong devoted fan.So Yoko enclosed the photo and her PA said in a cover letter that the reply took so long because Yoko insists on answering her own mail that she finds especially touching.

Here's my favorite. I also have the stub from Pink Floyd in '68, but it doen't show the date on the stub. Promoters weren't real sophisticated back then.

i have a ton of ticket stubs. none of them are super special. i do have a few old t-shirts that i just won't get rid of although a few folks have suggested it.
i think my favorite trophy was a skinless nose i got in a mosh pit at a megadeth concert. some big dude was trying to body serf and stepped on my nose. took the skin right off. i started a new job the next day and had to explain what happened. good thing i wasn't hired to look pretty.
for some reason that sticks in my mind. i was young and the show was great aside from dave mustaine getting pissed when i shook his hand. maybe he was having a bad day.
