Your first concert was to see who and when?


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

The Beach Boys in the Summer of 1964 at the San Jose Civic Auditorium, with Brian playing bass and singing falsetto.

The opening act was The Tikis, a Surf band from Santa Cruz. A coupla years later they changed their name to Harpers Bizarre. Future Warner Brothers record producer Ted Templeman was a member.

 

Led Zeppelin 1975 at the Greensboro Coliseum.  I still have many of my ticket stubs including from this concert.  Just imagine - $7 to see Zeppelin.  Second time I saw them in 1977 the price had gone way up to uh.. $9.

The Kinks in 1979 or 1980 at the Fabulous Forum in Los Angeles (Inglewood, to be exact). 

Iowa State Fair 1975

Santana, Fleetwood Mac, Head East.

Pretty much a day of it, back when bands just played and didn't worry about how long.
