Your first concert was to see who and when?


I'll kick off with Pink Floyd at The Bay Hotel, Sunderland in February 1969.

1979 ZZ Top on the Deguello tour at Cincinnati Gardens. I was in eighth grade and Joe Perry Project opened the show.

Besides John Denver and Paul Winter when I was really young with my mom at St John the Divine in NYC, the first real show I was at was, Believe it or not, New kids on the block in 1989 when I took my high school girlfriend as a birthday present. I hung out in the back of the venue, Syracuse I think, and smoked and trash talked the band even as we hummed along with the melodies we all knew by heart.

Jimmy Hendrix in San Diego in 1968 I think (It was just after being introduced to smoking marijuana- before going to the concert). Of course, it was amazing!
