What was the best decade to go to LSU ever?

I'm going with the 1970's. Sure, football was on its way down, and basketball hadn't really happened yet, and college baseball was years away from mattering, but....
Zeppelin.
Floyd.
Stones.
Bowie.
Elton.
Queen.
Dead.
Bruce.
Skynyrd if they didn't crash on the way.
The best concert at the PMAC while I was at LSU was the Goo Goo Dolls. Even though Johnny Reznik actually handed me his Strat from the stage at the end of the show, I'd've still preferred to see Pink Floyd rock out with an inflatable pig floating around while I tripped balls.
Damn, I was born 25 years too late.

I was around. It was pretty sweet. A lot of bad hair, though.

Class of 77-81. Basketball was definitely " happening " during the last part of the 70's. '77 thru '79 were great years. Baseball not happening yet.

Gotta be the 80's. That decade was just non-stop insanity from start to finish. Bernie Moore trophies. Some of the most exciting moments in all 3 major sports. Track dominance. Dekes getting out of control. Murphy's in full effect. Chris Jackson, Tommy Hodson, Joey Belle, Ben McDonald, Jose Vargas. Tito Horford, Bobby Knight, Jimmy Swaggart, Bob Brodhead. Just insanity I tell ya...

Rudy
Wilie "The Jet"
Greg "Cookieman" Cook.
Was in the student section for almost every game.
LSU was the first team to bring "showtime" to the SEC. Spotlights, etc, when announcing the lineup.

R.E.M.
U2.
Duran Duran.
Fleetwood Mac. (and not Rumours Fleetwood Mac--Tango in the Night Fleetwood Mac.)
Bon Jovi.
Def Leppard.
GNR. (ok, that one's pretty cool)
I think even Rick Springfield played the PMAC. What a huge drop off. It's as if we traded moderate-to-great athletic success at the cost of the Power of Rock. I don't think it was worth it.

Yeah, but students in the 80's had these cool things called music CDs...

Stones at the PMAC were great. The first two shows of their American tour. One show in the afternoon and one at night. Keith Richards hadn't had his teeth fixed yet, was clearly loaded and his pants almost fell off at one point. Sounded great though.
They also had the giant inflatable cock that came up through a trap door for "Starfricker".

If you are talking about championships, then its either the 90s or the 2000s.
You seem to be talking about the best decade to be in college period.

For me, the 70's because I was there.
No tickets, your ID got you in.
Student section ran all the way to the 50.
Football could have been better. Basketball just getting started. Baseball, not so much.
Great concerts at the Assembly Center (no PMAC yet)
Freshmen year in the asbestos riddled stadium dorms.
Tiger Rag and "A-HA-HA-HA-HA" after the Tigers scored (then some moron started the a-hole thing and they quit playing it).
The 80's should have been pretty good. The 90's, well thank God for Skip for and Womens Track. The '00's should have been fun. Here is to the teens being the best ever!!!!

Confirm this story for me: My dad says that Mick had made a habit of entering the stage in innovative ways (helicopter for some tours of outdoor stadiums, zip line, etc....), and everybody in the LSUAC was anxious to see how Mick would make his entrance. Keith, Bill, Charlie, and Ronnie (birthday boy that day, 6/1) started vamping "Honkey Tonk Women," and they did so for about two straight minutes, just riding that simple, repetitive G...and then Mick rose from the stage, having been lying behind an amp the whole time.
Is this at all true?

Although the LSU-USC game was great. I lost my voice for days.

The 70s'. LSU and A&M, Alabama and the BEAR, USC, Notre Dame, Charlie Mac and Daddy Dale. The football team was supported in a crazy way. The stadium was alive. Not always the best teams but teams that would let the other team know that they had been in a game. Fans weren't spoiled.
