Your first concert was to see who and when?


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

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!

My first "concert" I attended was in 7 grade.  Christmas concert. 1968ish. To see my Parents and an Audience.   KIndah had to.  My second year on trumpet.

Heart, Cheap Trick opened. 1978 Green Bay, WI Brown County Arena.

Love the responses being put forth; so much great stuff from back in the day!
