I saw the Rolling Stones at the Cincinnati Gardens back in the 60’s. At that time, they did not fill the arena. I remember one of the local tv stations filmed the fact that there were empty seats. I used to have all my ticket stubs from the acts that I had seen there and the ones at Music Hall, but unfortunately, I no longer have them.. I saw the Beatles at the Crosley Field, in Cincinnati, remembering it rained and we had to come back the next day. Lots of good memories. Shout out to Dick Clark for bringing a lot of artist to Cincinnati in the 60’s
