In this episode of Seeing Them Live, host Charles Zona introduces a new segment called Ticket Stub Stories, inspired by his memoir, Ticket Stub Stories: A Memoir of Live Music. Charles recounts a vivid memory from a U2 concert he attended in 1985 at the UIC Pavilion, where Bono lost his voice mid-performance. He delves into the background of the concert, detailing the unique perks for UIC students and sharing his personal experiences leading up to the show. Charles also highlights the editorial process that unearthed a bootleg recording of the concert, offering a fresh perspective on his memories. By featuring these segments, he hopes to encourage listeners to share their own concert stories. For those interested in becoming a guest on the show, Charles provides an open invitation and details for participation. The episode invites listeners to reminisce about live music and the powerful memories that concerts create.
