Your first concert was to see who and when?


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

@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. 

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.

My first was a Battle of the Bands show at the then Charlotte Coloseum with The Grass Roots as main attraction.... don’t remember the others. I went with my ’girlfriend’, shapparoned. 

First real concert was The Doobie Brothers @ Cameron Indoor Stadium on their "Vices" tour.
