Your first concert was to see who and when?

Reading everyone’s first concerts made me think of one thing.  Two amazing concerts I saw were Led Zeppelin’s last tour through the US at the LA Forum with John Bonham and The Who’s last tour through the US with Keith Moon, also at the forum.  Both drummers died soon after those concerts and it just made me think, I must have been the J.D. Vance of drummers!

@sls883  hey I was there too! My mom took me lol. I was 9 or 10. By that time, Kiss had already “jumped the shark”, as the saying goes.  Great memories though. Some guy offered my mom a hit off his joint. I saw a lot of great shows at the Civic Auditorium in the 80s. 

The Beatles with The Righteous Brothers, Seattle Colosseum, August, 1964. 

Yes, April19,1973 in Atlanta.

I was class rep and arranged the group trip as a junior in HS. I got called on the carpet because a joint was passed down our aisle, upsetting someone's parents. Then I got props for not having let anyone take a toke, telling them just to pass it. I even got an apology from the parents, who had to admit that rubbing it out on the floor would have caused potential trouble. As much as we wanted to take a hit, I was relieved that everyone realized it was a school trip and abstained. As a result, we later were able to attend a Flames hockey game and the premiere of the Exorcist at a 2000 seat movie house.

The Blues Magoos (I'm Never Going Back to Georgia) in the Spring of '69 at the Ekman Civic Center in Old Greenwich, CT. I was 17 and a high school junior.
