First concert EVER?

hmmm.... "The Planets" LA Philharmonic conducted by Zubin Mehta at the
LA Music Center. It was a 4th or 5th grade field trip. The nuns made
us go.

But we got to go to the Tar Pits after. That was cool.

From the painful to admit file, my first was ZZ Top, around 1974,
Cincinnati, Ohio.

Once I rose above the noise and confusion.

Mine was Rush, during the 2112 tour in 1978. I was 14, and was a few
months into my first year of High School. I went to a vocational
school, and went with some upper classmen that I made friends with in
shop. The concert was in Springfield, MA. On the drive out from
Marlboro, MA, where I grew up, we consumed mass quantities of that
really great 70's weed, Rainbow I think, and in addition I had a
six-pack of Heffenreffer to myself. Like I said, I was 14 and didn't
know the effects of Heffenreffer, just that it was very cool to drink.
I think I spent more than half the show with my head in one of the
bowls. Fun stuff.

Back in 78 (?) Foghat came to Toledo! I wanted to go treally bad!
So, for once I asked permission! My mother blew a gasket!! She said
there was too much drugs and alcohol! (I was 14) I said "Mom!!, don't
worry! I will buy everything I need at school before I go anyway!!"
Well, needless to say I got grounded for a couple of weeks!! but
being the rebelious teen I was, it was a great concert!!! = }

Drew,
If you liked Kansas then you'd enjoy John Elefante who went solo after
Kansas and now has a CD/tape out called, "Windows of Heaven". John was the
lead vocalist on "Carry on my wayward son".

Amy......who's first concert that she can remember thoroughly..in
full..from beginning to end was "The Kinks"...1976, Stabler arena.

Boy am I dating myself with this one. The first concert I ever attended was
in the summer of '73 at Cowtown Ballroom in Kansas City. it was Frank Zappa
and the Mothers of Invention.

My first concert (and I am both embarassed and oddly proud to admit
this) was:

John Denver with opening act The Starland Vocal Band
at The Capital Center, Largo, MD (outside Washington, DC).

This was quite a big concert, since the Starland Vocal Band was a
local group who wrote their only hit song after dining at a local
establishment (Rumors?) with "Afternoon Delight" on the menu. At the
restaurant it was a dessert, but that's not what song's about...

It was like 1966 and because I hadn't done some home work or some
other such none sence, i had to stay at school the day of the field trip
to the Tar Pits :( I still feel cheated. Was It neet or what?

My first concert wasn't till '72? PINK FLOYD dark side of the moon
tour. 5th row!

My first concert was in 1974, when I saw Aerosmith and Blue Oyster Cult
at Salem State College. For a Dollar!

I kid you not.

This was just when Dream On was first being played in Boston, and BOC
was pushing the album with Dominance and Submission and ME262 (i.e.
before 'Reaper')

Awesome and a great bargain!

Leon Russell 1976. Great show Price of ticket $6.00. I think a beer at
a concert cost about six $ today!

My first concert just missed the '70s. Day on the Green - Oakland
Colliseum July 27, 1980. Black Sabbath, Cheap Trick, Journey, and Molly
Hatchet. We went with my friend's mom. I remember some guy tapping me on
the shoulder while in line and asking me if I had a coke spoon. Heck, at
14, I didn't even know what a coke spoon was.

Still in California
