How to Start a Rock and Roll Show

I budgeted about 180,000 to do the first show. And I also felt that if I went to the record companies and asked them about the acts as well, they would want the acts on. It was $180,000 of your own money, which is like a million dollars today. Did you ever think of taking in a partner or you wanted to go all in on this yourself? I really wanted to do it alone.
