Really like their music. But, this shows how times have changed. In decades past, there would have been more smokers and, thus, more Zippos in the audience. Not a bad swap.
I still have a couple of my zippos from the Navy. We used to trade them to other Navy’s for memorabilia. They were also good in various ports. If a bar didn’t have one from your ship (or maybe a ball cap), you could trade it for a night of free drinking. Though the odds were against them not already having one.
I bought my Zippo at the Fort Campbell Kentucky PX in 1970. It’s been engraved and decorated since. It has traveled all over the world with me, and has worked with various fuels. It’s been back to Zippo for repair twice now, and still works perfectly. But I thought that at concerts they used Bic butane disposable lighters.

He loves the sound of the smoke alarms.

What’s the difference between a hippo and a zippo? One is really heavy, and the other is a little lighter.

Ernie Pyle said that The factory made a custom Zippo for him. What would that be worth today?

Wonder what the song by Deep Purple – Smoke on the Water was about?

He uses it at concerts or when he goes to see a flick.

Quit smoking (cigarettes) 2/3/80, and haven’t missed them since that moment.
I do, however, still miss my Zippo®! They are the embodiment of quality. If everything was made like a Zippo®, we almost wouldn’t need landfills.

It’s easier to light your doobie with a Zippo.

Okay, I don’t get the relevance of lighters to a rock concert. Anyone?
