While way less, my sis and I traveled outside of NYC, and next door north NJ to see The Who, so I relate!

We had our "Bicentennial Who Tour Trip". We did include our Nov '75 trip to Philadelphia in this; which me and a friend traveled down to Philly to stay overnight on line to get tixs next morning. Then it was NYC, Boston Gardens (finding sellers up there), and the arena right outside of DC in ?Maryland later that summer.
.
Thst one we also had tix for. However, when we got there our seats (?20+ row) were part of those displaced by the sound board. Arg!

Only we ended up placed in the 10th row instead, aha! Since they were one of our favorite bands getting close was a goal if possible.
Good times!

Upper and central NYS have lovely countryside!
