If you’re nostalgic for the days when concert tickets for big shows didn’t cost a mortgage payment, you’ll love these five throwback photos from Portland shows.

Four are from shows at what was then called the Cumberland County Civic Center, and one from the gym at the University of Southern Maine.

We give you Village People, Johnny Cash, Toto, Eric Clapton and Queen.
